For professionals in the cosmetic industry, sourcing ingredients with precise specifications is fundamental to creating high-performance products. Homosalate, a widely used UVB absorber, is no exception. Understanding the key specifications of cosmetic grade Homosalate (CAS 118-56-9) is crucial for buyers and formulators to ensure they are purchasing the right material for their specific applications, such as sunscreens and various personal care items. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier, we provide clear insights into these critical parameters.

The most important specification for Homosalate is its purity, typically measured by Gas Chromatography (GC) area percentage. Our cosmetic grade Homosalate consistently achieves a minimum assay of 98%, ensuring its effectiveness as a UV filter. This high purity is vital for maximizing UVB absorption and contributing reliably to the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of the final product. Beyond purity, the physical appearance is a key indicator of quality. Homosalate is generally described as a clear, colorless to slightly yellowish liquid, and maintaining this clarity and color consistency is a hallmark of a well-produced batch.

Other important specifications that buyers and formulators should consider include specific gravity and refractive index. These parameters help confirm the identity and quality of the material. For instance, a specific gravity range of 1.049-1.053 at 25°C and a refractive index range of 1.516-1.519 at 25°C are typical for high-quality Homosalate. These technical details are essential for accurate formulation calculations and ensuring product stability and performance. When you buy Homosalate from us, you can trust that these specifications are met and documented.

The application scope of Homosalate in cosmetic products, ranging from lotions and creams to sprays, makes it a sought-after ingredient.
