What it does

Ethylhexyl triazone absorbs UVB strongly, so a small amount does a lot of work, and it stays stable in sunlight. It is oil-soluble and common in high SPF creams sold in the EU. CosIng lists it in Annex VI as a UV filter with a maximum concentration.

It is synthetic and affects none of the six checks.
