Diethylaminohydroxybenzoylhexylbenzoate (also known as DHHB or Uvinul A Plus) is an oil-soluble organic sunscreen agent that provides strong, photostable absorption in the long-wave UVA range (approximately 354 nm). It is commonly combined with other UV filters to deliver broad-spectrum photoprotection.
