Octinoxate

One of the most widely used sunscreen filters against UVB rays, also called ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate: it is an ester of methoxycinnamic acid, a derivative of cinnamic acid, and absorbs light most strongly at 310 nm. This family brings together the active ingredient and labelled standards.

Did you know?In sunlight its molecule changes shape, switching from the E to the Z configuration, and absorbs less UV; in the dark, however, it stays stable for a long time.
