About
A cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Ethylhexyl Bis-Isopentylbenzoxazolylphenyl Melamine is a melamine-based heterocyclic compound containing benzoxazole chromophores. It functions as a UV absorber and is used to protect cosmetic formulations from UV-induced degradation or as a sunscreen agent in polymer-based cosmetic products. The substance is not listed in EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 Annexes II–VI as a UV filter, suggesting its use is primarily as a formulation stabilizer rather than a primary sunscreen active.
Skin benefits
- UV light stabilization for cosmetic formulations
- May contribute to overall UV protection in polymer-based products
