What Is Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate?
Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate is one of the most popular oil-soluble organic UV-B filters in cosmetic industry. It absorbs UV-B ultraviolet rays and converts light energy into harmless heat energy, reducing UV-B damage that causes sunburn, dark spots and skin photo-aging.
Our Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate features high purity, low impurity content, stable batch-to-batch consistency. It dissolves well in common cosmetic oil phases, convenient for emulsified sunscreen formulations. Often compounded with other UV filters to raise overall SPF performance, widely applied in facial & body sun-care products. Each batch provides complete technical documents for cosmetic registration and formula R&D.
Core Advantages Of Our Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate
Powerful UV-B Absorbing Capacity
Classic organic UV-B filter, effectively absorbs 280-320 nm UV-B spectrum, reduces sunburn and UV-triggered melanin production.
Excellent Oil-Soluble Property
Fully soluble in ester oil, mineral oil and vegetable oils, easy to add into oil phase during production, no complicated dispersion process required.
Synergistic SPF Boost Effect
Combined with UVA filters and inorganic physical sun-block powder, greatly improves overall SPF and broad-spectrum protection performance.
Pleasant Skin-Feel
Light oily texture, does not bring heavy sticky feeling to finished sunscreen products, friendly for cream, lotion and spray formulas.
Strict Quality & Impurity Control
High purity ≥98.0%, controlled impurity indexes, complies with mainstream cosmetic regulations around the world.
Full Technical Support
Support third-party testing, supply COA, MSDS, TDS, offer practical formulation suggestions for your R&D team.
How Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate Works In Cosmetic Formulations
Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate molecules absorb incoming UV-B photon energy, convert ultraviolet light energy into low-risk thermal energy and release it, so as to avoid UV-B penetrating skin and generating oxidative stress, sunburn and pigmentation. It mainly covers UV-B band; for full broad-spectrum protection, it must match UVA absorbing ingredients or inorganic UV filters.
Note: Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate is oil-soluble raw material, add into oil phase for dissolving. Formulators need to carry out compatibility test, light stability test and finished-product safety & stability assessment. Final sunscreen performance depends on dosage, compound UV filter system and formula matrix.
