Benzophenone-3 (BP-3), also known as oxybenzone, is a chemical compound used to protect skin from the sun's UV rays and to prevent the degradation of products.
BP-3 is a common ingredient in sunscreens, cosmetics, nail polish, hair products, and bath products.
BP-3 is added to packaging and some consumer products, such as paints, plastics, toys, and furniture finishes, to protect them from sun damage.
