Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

Explained

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (DHHB) is a chemical UV-A absorber. It is formulated for high UVA protection (320-400 nm).

DHHB is well-liked for:

  • Its photostability, meaning it won't break down when exposed to sunlight.
  • Its compatibility with other ingredients

DHHB has been approved by the EU, Japan, Taiwan, and South America for use up to 10%. Unfortunately, it has not been approved for use in the US or Canada due to slow regulatory processes.

This ingredient is soluble in oils, fats, and lipids.
