Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, or Iscotrizinol, is an organic, oil-soluble sun filter that absorbs UV-B radiation. Requires only very small concentrations to achieve a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF). Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is used in a wide range of cosmetic products to provide an appropriate Sun Protection Factor (SPF) in sunscreens or protect cosmetics against UV radiation. It is hardly absorbed by the skin, rarely leads to irritation, causes no allergic reactions, and has no evidence of any (geno)toxic or carcinogenic effect. Very soluble in cosmetic emollients and can readily be incorporated in the oily phase of emulsions. Because of its hydrophobic nature, it’s particularly suitable for water-repellent and water-resistand formulations.
