Oxybenzone is mostly used in the treatment of photoallergic reactions and is known as the UV-light absorber and also stabilizer. Oxybenzone absorbs sunlight and this results in photoexcitation of electrons and after sometime it returns to the ground state and emit larger energy thus reduces risk in deoxyribonucleic acid.
Titanium Dioxide helps in filtering the ultraviolet rays. they work by blocking the absorption of ultraviolet rays, that are responsible for sunburn and skin cancer.
