Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This triazine derivative functions as a broad-spectrum UV-A absorber (approximately 360 nm peak) used in sunscreen and photoprotective cosmetic products. It is listed in EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 Annex VI (authorized UV filters), with a maximum concentration of 5% (as octrizole). The restriction limits its use to safe cosmetic application levels. It carries hazard statement H413 (may cause long-lasting harmful effects to aquatic life), prompting some environmentally conscious formulations to seek alternatives. The 5% cap represents a balance between efficacy and environmental concern.
