What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Description
2 studies reviewed
In plain English

Bemotrizinol blocks UVA rays across a wide range of wavelengths and does not break down when exposed to prolonged ultraviolet light.

See the scientific wording

Bemotrizinol provides broad-spectrum UVA protection and exhibits photostability under prolonged UV exposure.

Why this might work

Bemotrizinol absorbs a wide range of ultraviolet A light wavelengths and does not break down when exposed to sunlight, allowing it to continuously block harmful rays without losing effectiveness.

What the research says

2 studies
  1. Study: Bemotrizinol-Loaded Lipid Nanoparticles for the Development of Sunscreen Emulsions

    This study shows that bemotrizinol works well in sunscreen and doesn't break down easily, helping block more UV rays than without it. That means it likely protects against UVA light across many wavelengths and stays strong in the sun.

  2. Study: In Silico Perspective on Avobenzone, Octisalate, Octocrylene, Homosalate, and Bemotrizinol as Organic UV Filters Using DFT, TD-DFT, and Molecular Dynamics

    This computer study showed that Bemotrizinol absorbs a wide range of UVA rays and doesn’t break down when exposed to sunlight, which means it works well as a sunscreen ingredient.
