Octisalate

A UVB filter used in sunscreens, the ester of salicylic acid with 2-ethylhexanol: it absorbs UVB rays only weakly but is very stable, and its ethylhexyl part gives it emollient, water-resistant properties. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.

Did you know?It is a colourless oily liquid with a floral odour, often added to improve the performance of other filters, such as avobenzone and oxybenzone, and to reduce their breakdown in light.
