How the UV FILTER function is used in CosIng
The UV FILTER function is assigned by the European Commission in the CosIng ingredient inventory. This page currently lists 87 ingredients carrying that function label in the dataset, which helps you move from a functional claim to the exact ingredients that use it.
Exclusively or mainly intended to protect the skin and/or hair against certain UV radiation by absorbing, reflecting or scattering UV radiation. All authorised UV filters are substances in the positive list of Annex VI to the Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009.
Function assignments come from official EU CosIng data. They describe intended cosmetic use, but they do not replace regulatory review of each linked ingredient and any annex records tied to it.
