Plurk paste

Oxybenzone outside of solution is described as a white or yellow-white powder. It absorbs high-frequency UVA and UVB light, then releases that energy at a lower wavelength, thus protecting the skin from deep penetration from high energy light. The same qualities that make it useful as a sunscreen make it a viable option for protecting plastic products from sun damage. Besides that, it’s used in products such as nail polish, hairspray, and other cosmetics, and is described as a “photostabilizer.” Photostabilizers help prevent other chemicals from reacting in the presence of high energy light, by absorbing the light of shorter wavelength and emitting it at a longer, lower-energy wavelength.
