Last update on May 16, 2024
Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is a type of UV filter that provides skin protection against harmful rays of the sun. These harsh radiations can cause severe damage to the skin - such as premature aging, sunburn, and also cancer. This ingredient is added to sunscreen products and can provide high SPF at lower concentrations. Other names of Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone include Iscotrizinol and Uvasorb HEB. This filter is oil soluble and particularly effective for water resistant and water repellent formulations. It is safe for use when used within recommended concentrations. Additionally, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone can be identified by its solid form and white to off white color.

What is DIETHYLHEXYL BUTAMIDO TRIAZONE used for?

Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone finds widespread use in sunscreens due to its exceptional UV-absorbing properties. As a key ingredient, it offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB radiation, safeguarding the skin from sunburn and long-term damage like premature aging and skin cancer. Its stability and compatibility with other sunscreen components make it an integral part of formulations for various skin types. Additionally, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone’s water-resistant nature enhances sunscreens' efficacy during water-based activities.

Origin

Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is synthesized through a multi-step chemical process. It begins with the reaction of hexyl butyric acid with an amine compound, typically ethanolamine or diethanolamine, forming an intermediate product. This intermediate undergoes further chemical transformations, including amidation and triazone formation, yielding Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone. Purification steps ensure the compound meets quality standards for use in sunscreens.
