Functions:

  • Ethylhexyl Triazone is a UV filter and absorber. Clinical studies show high photo stability and very high UVB-absorption capacity, particularly when compared to other popular UV filters. Studies also indicate that even low concentrations of ethylhexyltriazone in a sun care preparation can contribute significantly to the final product’s SPF.
  • Ethylhexyl Triazone is used in sunscreen formulations as a UV filter to block out harmful ultraviolet light.
