INCI Ethylhexyl Triazone

High-Efficiency UVB Filter Active Ingredients

What it is & what it does

Ethylhexyl Triazone (Uvinul T150) is an extremely efficient, photostable UVB filter.
WHAT IT IS: Ethylhexyl Triazone is a highly efficient organic UVB filter used in selected sunscreen systems.

HOW IT WORKS / EVIDENCE: Its strong UVB absorption makes it a useful partner in formulations where multiple filters cover different wavelengths. Photostability and regulatory status depend on the specific material and market. Even an effective filter cannot be assigned an SPF number in isolation.

WHY THE FINISHED PRODUCT MATTERS: An honest ingredient page should explain its UVB role without implying it independently covers all UVA wavelengths. No ingredient name alone establishes the measured clinical result of a complete formula.

Usage & cautions

Use only as part of a correctly formulated, tested sunscreen and follow its instructions.
Information approach Consumer-friendly summaries are informed by established cosmetic ingredient references such as INCIDecoder and Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary, while avoiding turning ingredient-level evidence into medical claims about the finished product.
