Oxybenzone is a benzophenone-derived chemical compound that functions as a broad-spectrum ultraviolet filter absorbing both UVA and UVB radiation. Beyond its primary photoprotective role, oxybenzone modulates endocrine signaling pathways by exhibiting estrogenic activity. It induces estrogen receptor-mediated transcriptional activation and promotes cell proliferation in estrogen-responsive cellular models, thereby altering downstream hormone-regulated biological phenotypes.
