Avobenzone is dibenzoyl methane derivative. It is oil soluble ingredient. Avobenzone has the ability to absorb ultraviolet light over wider range of wavelengths. It is included in many commercially available sunscreens which are used as wide spectrum sunscreens. Avobenzone is very sensitive to light, to increase its stability and duration of action, photostablizers are added in the sunscreen product. Avobenzone has an absorption maximum of 357 nm. Sunscreens containing avobenzone is indicated for providing protection from the sun. In addition to limiting the skin’s exposure to the sun, using sunscreen agents may help reduce long-term sun damage such as premature aging of the skin and skin cancer.

Regulatory Framework
Assessment Methodology
Masuu Global follows a scientifically justified, risk-based toxicological approach aligned with internationally recognized guidelines accepted by EMA, PIC/S, and ANVISA.
EMA – Guideline on Setting Health-Based Exposure Limits (HBELs)
Provides the framework for establishing scientifically justified PDE/ADE values for use in shared manufacturing facilities.
PIC/S – Shared Facilities and Contamination Control Guidance
Supports the application of HBEL-based approaches for cross-contamination prevention and cleaning validation.
ICH Q9 – Quality Risk Management
Provides a structured methodology for risk identification, assessment, control, communication, and review.
ICH M7 – Assessment and Control of DNA-Reactive (Mutagenic) Impurities (where applicable)
Applied for compounds with potential mutagenic or genotoxic concerns.
Risk-Based Toxicological Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation of available toxicological and pharmacological data, including NOAEL, LOAEL, BMDL, pharmacological potency, carcinogenicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity, sensitization potential, and target organ toxicity.
Weight-of-Evidence (WoE) Approach
Integration and critical review of all relevant data sources, including non-clinical studies, clinical studies, human exposure data, pharmacological information, post-marketing safety data, and structure–activity relationship (SAR/QSAR) assessments.
How We Work
Report Preparation Process
Every assessment moves through a rigorous five-stage workflow — from data gathering to regulatory-ready delivery.
01
Comprehensive Data Review
Assessment of pharmacology, toxicology, clinical data, literature, and available regulatory information.
02
Scientific Evaluation
Identification of critical endpoints and selection of appropriate exposure limits.
03
PDE / HBEL Derivation
Transparent and scientifically justified calculations aligned with global toxicological principles.
04
Ex-Agency Expert Review (Our Differentiator)
Reports are reviewed with an ex-agency perspective, bringing regulatory expectations, inspection readiness, and practical implementation into every assessment.
05
Final Report Delivery
Regulatory-ready reports with scientific rationale, calculations, and clear recommendations by certified toxicologists (ERT, UKRT and DABT).
