About

A cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This compound combines a diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl (a classic UVA filter substructure) with a maleimido-ethyl-amidoethyl benzoate chain. The diethylamino group acts as an electron donor enhancing UV absorption. The maleimide may participate in skin protein binding, which is a double-edged sword: useful for substantivity but raises sensitisation questions. Not specifically restricted in EU Annex III.

Skin benefits

  • Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB absorption
  • Potential long-lasting substantivity on skin

Known concerns

  • Potential skin protein binding and sensitisation
  • Maleimide reactivity may cause photocontact allergy
