Ethylhexyl Triazone is an oil-soluble organic UV filter that strongly absorbs UVB radiation (peak around 314 nm), valued for its high photostability and efficiency at low concentrations. It is commonly used in sunscreens and daily-wear products to boost SPF.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Contact irritation | Rare | Mild redness or stinging occasionally reported, generally well tolerated. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Isolated sensitization cases documented; uncommon compared to older UV filters. |
| Photoallergic reaction | Very rare | Rarely reported given the molecule's high photostability and low systemic absorption. |
