Ethylhexyl Triazone

Mid risk

FunctionUVB Filter

What it is — Ethylhexyl Triazone (INCI: Ethylhexyl Triazone), also known by the trade name Uvinul T 150, is an organic UVB filter.

What it does — It is commonly used to absorb UVB light, helping a sunscreen defend against ultraviolet exposure; it is usually combined with UVA filters for broad-spectrum cover.

Typical use — It appears in sunscreens and daytime SPF products such as moisturizers and makeup. Its approval as a sunscreen filter varies by country.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types and valued for being photostable and oil-soluble. 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.
