Description
Products Description
Ethylhexyl Triazone (EHT), also known by trade names such as Uvinul T 150 and Parsol EHT, is a triazine-based organic UV filter that provides highly efficient, photostable absorption of UVB radiation, with a peak absorption wavelength of 314nm. Its molecular structure gives it strong affinity for skin keratin and excellent water resistance, making it a preferred UVB filter in premium sunscreen formulations across markets where it's approved - though notably, it remains unapproved for sunscreen drug products in the United States and Canada under current FDA/Health Canada frameworks.
Sheerherb supplies Ethylhexyl Triazone as a generic-equivalent UV filter raw material, with purity and identity verified by HPLC on every batch. We supply cosmetic and sunscreen formulators in markets where EHT is an approved UV filter, sourcing raw material for broad-spectrum sun protection product development.

Product Benefits
Ethylhexyl Triazone is valued mainly for its highly efficient, photostable UVB absorption, which underpins its role in premium sunscreen formulation:
1. High-Efficiency UVB Protection at Low Use Levels
Its strong absorptivity means lower concentrations are needed to achieve high SPF ratings compared to some other UVB filters.
2. Excellent Photostability
Unlike some organic UV filters that degrade under prolonged UV exposure, EHT maintains its protective performance, supporting long-lasting sun protection claims.
3. Strong Water and Wash-Off Resistance
Its polar molecular structure creates affinity with skin keratin, supporting water-resistant sunscreen formulations.
4. Broad-Spectrum Formulation Compatibility
Its oil solubility and compatibility with other UV filters make it a useful building block for broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen systems.
Products Application
Sunscreen Creams, Lotions & Sprays
Its high UVB efficiency and photostability make it a core active ingredient in broad-spectrum sunscreen formulations in EU, Japan, and other markets where approved.
Daily-Use Sun Protection Products
Its lightweight, non-greasy oil-soluble profile supports inclusion in daily-wear moisturizers and BB/CC creams with SPF claims.
Lip Care & Sun Oil Products
Used in lip balms, sun oils, and lipsticks requiring UV protection alongside cosmetic function.
FAQ
Q: Can this ingredient be used in sunscreen products sold in the United States or Canada?
A: No - Ethylhexyl Triazone has not been approved by the FDA for use in sunscreen drug products in the US, and a similar status applies in Canada. It is approved in the EU (up to 5%), Japan, and most other Asian markets. Please confirm your target market's regulatory status before formulating.
Q: What specifications do you offer for bulk orders?
A: ≥98% purity by HPLC. Specs can be adjusted to your formulation target, with COA, MSDS, and full regulatory documentation provided per batch.
Q: What is your MOQ for wholesale orders?
A: MOQ typically starts from 1kg for trial/formulation-testing quantities, up to 25kg drums for commercial orders.
Q: How do you ensure quality and stability during shipping?
A: Controlled synthesis process, packed in moisture-resistant, light-protective packaging. Recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
Q: Do you support OEM/private label sunscreen formulation projects?
A: Yes - for markets where EHT is an approved UV filter, including guidance on combining with avobenzone or BEMT for broad-spectrum formulations. Our team can advise on compatibility and regional compliance for qualifying volumes.
