Ethylhexyl methoxycrylene
Ethylhexyl methoxycrylene is a photostabilizer that preserves the effectiveness of UV filters by interacting with both the singlet and triplet states. It returns UV filters to their ground states without absorbing sunlight. It is used as a solvent for crystalline UV filters and is easily emulsified and suitable for use in various lotions, creams, sprays, sticks, and gel formulations. It currently enjoys regional approvals in Canada, the EU, and the US. — DrugBank
