Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (also known as Uvinul A Plus) is an oil-soluble organic UV filter that absorbs primarily in the long-wave UVA range (around 354 nm), helping protect skin from UVA-induced damage. It is photostable and commonly combined with other filters in broad-spectrum sunscreens.

Skin irritation or mild contact dermatitis | Rare | Occasional reports of localized redness or irritation, generally mild. |
Allergic contact dermatitis / sensitization | Very rare | Isolated case reports; considered a low-sensitizing UV filter. |
Photoallergic reaction | Very rare | Uncommon given its photostability, but possible in sensitive individuals. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
