Ethylhexyl Triazone is a modern chemical sunscreen that protects from UV-B radiation.
It is the most effective of existing UV-B filters, as it provides the highest level of photo-stable absorption. It protects from the entire UV-B range (280 to 320nm), with it's highest level of protection at 314nm.
Ethylhexyl Triazone is oil soluble, oderless and colorless, which mean it is able to be incorporated into a variety of different formulations.
It is not currently available within the United States due to slow changing FDA regulations. Outside of the US, it is used in formulations at concentrations up to 5%.

good but sticky
I like it, it doesn't give me any acne unlike others I've tried before. However, it is a bit sticky at first and it takes a bit long to absorb but I'd rather have the sickness than the acne so i'll be sticking with this. I'd also like this to have a bit more of a glowy finish since it mattifies my skin a bit, but overall it's good.
