Application

Ethylhexyl triazone is a sunscreen agent used in personal care products. It blocks UV-B rays from the sun to protect the skin from damage. Because of its high A1/1 value, only small concentrations are required in cosmetic suncare preparations to achieve a high SPF value. Concentrations up to 3% are recommended. Ethylhexyl triazone is usually dissolved in the oily phase of the emulsion.
