Abstract
Background The three chemical ultraviolet absorbers benzophenone‐3 (BP‐3), octyl‐methoxycinnamate (OMC) and 3‐(4‐methylbenzylidene) camphor (4‐MBC) are commercially used in sunscreens worldwide. Apart from sun protection, they may possess endocrine‐disrupting effects in animals and in vitro. For all three compounds, only sporadic measurements of percutaneous absorption and excretion after topical application in humans have been described.
