Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is a chemical sunscreen agent that is very oil soluble and requires relatively low concentrations to achieve high SPF values. It protects in the UVB and UVA II range with a peak protection at 310 nm. It is particularly suitable for water-repellent and water-resistant formulations. It is super photostable, losing only 10% of its SPF protection abilities in 25 hours.

Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is also known under the name Iscotrizinol. Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is restricted in cosmetics in Japan due to concentration limits. There is limited evidence of sense organ toxicity. There is insufficient data to determine safety. There are multiple, additive exposure sources. Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is a broad spectrum UV absorber, absorbing UVB as well as UVA rays. UV radiation is an important cause of sunburn, premature aging of the skin and in the development of melanoma and other forms of skin cancer. The European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products Intended for Consumers (SCCNFP) conducted a safety evaluation of Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone. Based on their review, the SCCNFP concluded that use of this ingredient in cosmetic products as a UV light absorber at a maximum concentration of 10% would not pose a health hazard. The European SCCNFP concluded that Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone was not irritating or sensitizing. It was not genotoxic and the dermal absorption of the ingredient was very low. Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is listed in the Cosmetics Directive of the European Union and may be used as a UV filter in cosmetics and personal care products at a maximum concentration of 10% (see Annex VII). Octyltriazone is an improved version of Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, however when formulating it seems to be less photostable. Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is mainly used as a chemical sunscreen in cosmetics and skin care products. It is non-toxic to the human body and will not cause cancer. The risk factor is 2. It is relatively safe and can be used with confidence. acne. DHBT is a new type of UV absorber with high absorption rate. It is an alcohol-soluble and oil-soluble UVB absorber, with an absorption wavelength range of 280-320 nm. In addition, DHBT has good compatibility with oily ingredients and good sunscreen effect. It is one of the chemical sunscreens known to be relatively light-resistant, and its sunscreen protection ability decreases by only 10% within 25 hours.
