Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

Mid risk

FunctionBroad UV Filter

What it is — Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (INCI: Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine), also known by the trade name Tinosorb S, is a broad-spectrum organic UV filter.

What it does — It is commonly used to absorb both UVA and UVB light, helping a sunscreen defend against ultraviolet exposure and supporting the photostability of other filters.

Typical use — It appears in sunscreens and daytime moisturizers, foundations and other SPF-rated products. Its approval as a sunscreen filter varies by country.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types and often used in modern, cosmetically elegant sunscreens. Sun protection depends on applying enough product and reapplying, not on any single filter.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test before wider use if your skin is reactive.
