UV Protector for ProductsProtects products from degradation caused by light exposure
SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS
// Evidence: Light stabilizers prevent photodegradation through UV absorbers that convert light energy to heat (benzophenones, benzotriazoles), radical scavengers (hindered amine light stabilizers), or quenchers that deactivate excited states. These protect photosensitive ingredients like fragrances, colors, and vitamins from degradation during storage. Mechanism involves absorbing UV radiation or scavenging photo-generated free radicals.
