The safety of avobenzone has been evaluated by several regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Commission. These agencies have concluded that avobenzone is safe for use in sunscreen products up to a concentration of 3%. However, concerns about its photostability and potential for breakdown into harmful byproducts necessitate careful formulation and use. It's important to apply sunscreen containing avobenzone frequently to maintain its protective effects.
