Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is an organic compound that provides UVB protection. It often goes by the more common name of octinoxate. It is created from methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethylhexanol.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate absorbs UVB rays with wavelengths between 280-320 nm. UV absorbers protect your skin by using chemical reactions to convert UV rays into heat and energy.

UVB (290-320 nm) rays emit more energy than UVA rays. They are capable of damaging DNA, causing sunburns and are thought to be linked to skin cancer.

The state of Hawaii has banned sunscreens containing octinoxate due to its potential impact on coral reefs. More research is needed to bridge gaps in this research. The European Union allows higher levels of octinoxate in sunscreens than the US and Australia.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is oil soluble. It is not stable and may lose efficacy when exposed to sunlight.

Good overall
Does the job of helping dry lips and protecting them BUT it isn't as good as using vaseline, It fades off of the lips quickly. As someone with very dry lips (that get wounds easily) it wasn't as good as nivea rose mentholatum lip balm, as it feels heavier and last longer. Thi for me the win would be Vaseline's Lip therapy. It help my lips a LOT, it fixed my dry lips and made them smooth and healthy. Tho i like abib spf protection it isn't a necessity. And abt the smell... i like it tho i don't think everyone likes this certain smell. Good overall just not the perfect or a holy grail.
