What is Ethylhexyl Triazone?
Ethylhexyl Triazone is a synthetic sunscreen ingredient used in sun care products to protect against UVB rays. It is an extremely photo stable ingredient which doesn't degrade on exposure to UV light, as many other UV filters do.
What does Ethylhexyl Triazone do?
Ethylhexyl Triazone offers SPF protection via absorbing UVB light in the outer layers of the epidermis, then converting it into heat (to neutralise the energy which can lead to cell damage), and scattering it away from the body. It is an oil soluble, odourless and colourless powder that works well in fragrance-free formulations.
