Octinoxate, also called Octylmethoxycinnamate or OMC, is a chemical commonly used in cosmetic and skin care products around the world. Octinoxate is in a class of chemicals made by mixing an organic acid with an alcohol. In this case, sulfuric acid and methanol combined make octinoxate. Octinoxate is a component of sunscreen. It filters the UV rays from the sun by absorbing through the skin. This is how it protects the skin from sunburn.

Octinoxate is used in the treatment of nutritional deficiencies. It is primarily used in sunscreens and other cosmetics to absorb UV-B rays from the sun, protecting the skin from damage. It is also used to reduce the appearance of scars.

Some research has found that octinoxate can cause adverse skin reactions, like acne and contact dermatitis in humans. But this has only been shown to occur in a minority of people who have specific skin allergies.
Few side effects of octinoxate are:

• Anal irritation,
• Skin rash,
• Erythema (skin redness)

• Avoid using the cream on irritated skin.
• You may be monitored for hormonal levels as octinoxate may have a negative impact on the endocrine system. Do not take if allergic to octinoxate or any of its ingredients.
