Chemical analyais of sunscreen ingredient
« on: April 14, 2007, 11:41:56 PM »
I am doing a science project about sunscreen's effectiveness against UVA and UVB rays.  I would like to know if the chemical formula for the ingredient helioplex found Neutrogena sunscreen also called ACTIVE PHOTOBARRIER COMPLEX found in Aveeno.

Thank you

Please search something like Avobenzene (UVA absorber) and Oxybenzene (UVB absorber).

I also cannot search the molecular formula for Helioplex. Maybe this is Neutrogena potent!

Perhaps search www.uspto.gov for the patent.
