Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate UVB Filter for Sunscreen Formulations
01
Product Description
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, also known as Octyl Methoxycinnamate or Octinoxate, is a synthetic UV absorber with the chemical formula C₁₈H₂₆O₃. It appears as a pale yellow oily liquid, lipophilic in nature, and efficiently absorbs UVB rays. As a cinnamate derivative, it reduces UV damage by absorbing UVB energy through intramolecular electron transitions. Synthesized via esterification of p-methoxycinnamic acid with 2-ethylhexanol, it dissolves well in oils and organic solvents, making it compatible with various cosmetic bases.
Aogebio® Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (OMC) is a highly effective UVB filter widely used in sunscreen formulations to provide broad-spectrum protection against harmful sun rays. As a key ingredient in cosmetic and personal care products, our OMC UV filter ensures optimal sun protection by absorbing UVB radiation (290-320 nm), helping to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Ideal for sunscreens, moisturizers, and SPF-enhancing products, Aogebio® Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate offers excellent photostability, compatibility with other filters, and a lightweight, non-greasy feel—perfect for cosmetic formulations that demand superior performance. Trusted by manufacturers worldwide, our OMC sunscreen ingredient meets international safety standards, ensuring reliable UV protection for all skin types.
