Suncat DeTM is a trade name for diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate (DHHB), an oil-soluble organic UVA filter used in sunscreen and daily skincare formulations to absorb long-wave UVA radiation. It is valued for its high photostability and ability to stabilize other UV filters.

Contact dermatitis | Rare | Allergic or irritant reactions reported infrequently in patch-test contexts. |
Eye irritation | Uncommon | Can occur with accidental contact, as with most sunscreen agents. |
Photoallergic reaction | Very rare | Rarely reported; the filter is considered relatively low in photosensitizing potential. |
