Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is a highly effective, oil-soluble organic UV filter used in the cosmetic and personal care industry for its superior sun protection properties. It is particularly valued for its ability to absorb both UVA and UVB radiation, making it a critical ingredient in sunscreens and other sun protection products.

Chemical Composition and Structure
Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is composed of a triazine-based chemical structure that provides broad-spectrum UV protection. The specific composition includes:

Triazine Core: Provides stability and UV absorption properties.
Diethylhexyl Groups: Enhance oil solubility and compatibility with various cosmetic formulations.
Physical Properties
Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone typically appears as a pale yellow to yellowish powder. It is oil-soluble, making it easy to incorporate into various oil-based and emulsion formulations.

Cosmetic and Personal Care Applications
UV Protection: Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is an effective UV filter that absorbs both UVA and UVB radiation, providing broad-spectrum sun protection. It is particularly effective in the UVB range.

Photostability: This ingredient is highly photostable, meaning it does not degrade easily upon exposure to sunlight, thereby maintaining its efficacy over time.

Compatibility: It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, making it suitable for use in various formulations, including sunscreens, day creams, and makeup products with SPF.

Water Resistance: Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is often used in formulations designed to be water-resistant, providing prolonged sun protection even during water activities.

Skin Conditioning: While primarily used for its UV filtering properties, it also helps in enhancing the overall texture and feel of the formulation.

Environmental and Safety Considerations
Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic and personal care products. It is non-irritating and suitable for all skin types. As a synthetic UV filter, it should be used and disposed of responsibly to minimize environmental impact. Ongoing research is focused on understanding its environmental impact and ensuring sustainable practices in its use and disposal.

Cosmetics - INCI Functions


Light stabilizer. It prevents light from degrading light-sensitive components and slows down degradation reactions that have already begun. The mechanism is, in a way, similar to antioxidants and the effectiveness depends on the.complexity of the formulation and the density of the product.

Surfactant - Foam booster. It has the effect of introducing gas bubbles into the water and affects the cleaning process by helping to spread the cleanser. Since sebum has an inhibiting effect on the bubble, more foam is produced in the second shampoo.
