Bisethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (also known as Bemotrizinol or Tinosorb S) is a broad-spectrum organic UV filter that absorbs both UVA and UVB radiation. It is highly photostable and is commonly used in sunscreens and daytime skincare to help protect against sun-induced damage.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Contact irritation | Rare | Mild irritation occasionally reported, often related to the overall formulation rather than the filter itself. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Isolated case reports; the molecule is large and considered to have low sensitizing potential. |
| Eye stinging | Uncommon | Can occur if sunscreen migrates into the eyes, similar to other UV filters. |
