The efficient UVB filter with excellent solubility
PARSOL® MCX (INCI: Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate) is a strong UVB absorber ideal for water-resistant sunscreen formulations. The UV filter is a colorless liquid that integrates easily into the oil phase of sunscreen formulations, and increases the SPF when combined with other UV filters. PARSOL® MCX is an excellent solubilizer for many solid UV filters including PARSOL® 1789, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. This UV filter is approved worldwide.
PARSOL® 1789 (INCI: Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) is a very strong and efficient UVA absorber for sunscreen and other skin care formulations. It enables broadband protection when combined with effective UVB filters and can also contribute to SPF.
PARSOL® 340 (INCI name: Octocrylene) is an effective UV-B absorber and the most effective photostabilizer for solid, crystalline UV absorbers like PARSOL® 5000, PARSOL® 1789, Ethylhexyl Triazone and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate.
PARSOL® EHS (INCI: Ethylhexyl Salicylate) is an effective UVB absorber for sun protection formulations. This colorless liquid UV filter is an effective solvent for many solid filters like PARSOL® 1789.
