Ethylhexyl triazone is a PABA-derivative used in sunscreens to absorb UVB radiation. It is marketed as Uvinul T 150 by BASF. Ethylhexyl triazone has an absorption maximum of 314 nm. Ethylhexyl triazone is not approved as an active ingredient in the U.S., but used in rare cases to boost efficacy of some products. Ethylhexyl triazone is approved for use up to 5% in EU and Japan. It blocks UVB and extremely stable, it is the most effective UVB filter. Only small concentrations are required to achieve high SPF value, has good affinity to keratin and completely insoluble in water, making it particularly good choice for water-resistant sunscreens. Very stable in light – ability to filter UV rays remains practically unchanged even when exposed to intense radiation.
