Findings
Avobenzone's UV protection breaks down differently depending on how concentrated it is in a formula and what other ingredients surround it. Higher concentrations actually showed better long-term sun protection in tests using simulated sunlight, suggesting formulators can improve avobenzone's real-world performance by adjusting how much they use and what they mix it with.
