Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCRYLENE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

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
