Benzophenone-4 is a protective ingredient that works to keep the UVB rays away from the skin and hair. It is basically a sunscreen but since it is weak, it is made to work with other sunscreen filters for added protection. However, Benzophenone-4 is commonly used for other purposes such as extending the shelf lives of products and acting as a color protectant.
