Description
Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone (commonly known as Iscotrizinol) is an advanced, oil-soluble organic UVB filter renowned for its exceptional photostability and high UV absorption efficiency. It provides strong protection in the UVB range (280–320 nm), helping to prevent sunburn, skin cell damage, and the early signs of photoaging. With its high molar extinction coefficient, even small concentrations of this filter deliver powerful protection, making it an ideal choice for high-SPF sunscreen formulations.
One of Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone’s most valuable characteristics is its outstanding photostability—it retains its UV protection capabilities even after hours of sun exposure. Additionally, it is water-resistant, ensuring consistent sun protection during swimming, sweating, or extended outdoor activities.
In sunscreen formulations, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is often combined with complementary UVA filters such as Avobenzone, Bisoctrizole, or Bemotrizinol to achieve broad-spectrum coverage. It is also highly compatible with other chemical and physical sunscreen agents, making it easy for formulators to design products with balanced protection and an appealing cosmetic feel.
This UV filter is well tolerated by most skin types, with low skin penetration and minimal irritation risk. It is suitable for daily wear formulations as well as sport and beach sunscreens. It blends seamlessly into creams, lotions, and sprays without leaving a greasy texture or white residue, maintaining a pleasant application experience.
Regulatory approvals include use in the European Union (up to 10%), Australia, Japan, and several Asian markets. However, it is not yet approved for sunscreens in the United States by the FDA.
Thanks to its potent UVB protection, superior stability, water resistance, and excellent skin compatibility, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is a premium choice for modern sunscreens, delivering reliable, high-SPF performance in comfortable, consumer-friendly formulations.
