UVB rays are the ultraviolet rays that cause sunburn and play a significant role in developing skin cancer.
Octyl methoxycinnamate is also known as Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is an ester formed from methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethylhexanol.
People can find Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate on product labels under various names.
Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, also known as octinoxate, is a colorless, clear liquid that is insoluble in water.

The most widely used sunscreen ingredient, known for Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate's low potential to sensitize skin or act as a phototallergen.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is an ultra violet absorber.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate has a broad UV-B radiation absorbance profile and functions as UV-B blocker.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is a cinnamate ester.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is a cinnamate ester and common ingredient in sunscreen and other skin care products to minimize DNA photodamage.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate was originally developed in 1950's as an organic UV-B filter that absorbs UV-B rays from sun.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is often combined with nanoparticles or other water-resistant liposomes in formulations to increase the localization at the epidermis and decrease the risk of percutaneous absorption.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate's use in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations is approved by FDA.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is called Cosroma FSJ015.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is an ultraviolet (UV) protection agent commonly used in sunscreens, face foundations, and lip care products.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate acts as a UV filter and blocks the Sun’s UV-B rays which have been associated with sunburn and skin cancer, thus protecting the skin.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is an ester of 4-methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethyl hexanol, a strong UVB absorber and is one of the most widely used UV-B filters with excellent protection potential.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is an oil-soluble (insoluble in water), colorless to pale yellow (yellowing when exposed to light), practically odorless, oily liquid that can be easily incorporated into the sunscreen formulation.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate has a refractive index (at 20 °C) of 1.542–1.548 and boosts the SPF when combined with other UV filters.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is ideal for water-resistant sunscreens, lipsticks, protective hair care, and daycare products for everyday protection against UV-B rays.

In addition, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is compatible with most cosmetic ingredients and an excellent solubilizer for many solid UV filters such as Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine.
Due to Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is a derivative of cinnamate acid (unsaturated fatty acid), an antioxidant should be added to the cosmetic composition, to guarantee the oxidative stability of the product.

Antioxidants could be, for example, vitamin E or BHT.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is approved worldwide in various concentrations.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is one of the well-studied ingredients. Several studies showed that it has cytotoxic, estrogenic, and neurological adverse effects.

But, applied topically, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate practically doesn't adsorb into the epidermis, and it is safe for external use and approved by the FDA for use in sunscreens and protective applications.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is a clear liquid that is insoluble in water.

In the United States, these products are regulated as Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs.
Octyl methoxycinnamate or Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate or octinoxate (USAN), trade names Eusolex 2292 and Uvinul MC80, is an organic compound that is an ingredient in some sunscreens and lip balms.

This effect is more notable when Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is applied before the induction of trauma.
Chromophore groups, such as C=C, C=O, and O-N=O, have loosely held electrons that are excited by radiation.
Hence, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is able to absorb radiation when the electron energy level is increased to an excited state.

The UV spectra ofEthylhexyl Methoxycinnamate contains a maximum at 310 nm.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is a clear, oil-soluble, "cosmetically-elegant" liquid that is the most commonly used chemical sunscreen.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate absorbs UVB radiation (at wavelengths: 280-320 nm) with a peak protection at 310nm.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate only protects against UVB and not UVA rays (the 320-400 nm range) – so always choose products that contain other sunscreens too.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is not very stable either, when exposed to sunlight, it kind of breaks down and loses its effectiveness (not instantly, but over time - it loses 10% of its SPF protection ability within 35 mins).

To make Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate more stable it can be - and should be - combined with other sunscreen agents to give stable and broad-spectrum protection (the new generation sunscreen agent, Tinosorb S is a particularly good one for that).
Overall, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is an old-school chemical sunscreen agent.

There are plenty of better options for sun protection today, but Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is considered "safe as used" (and sunscreens are pretty well regulated) and it is available worldwide (can be used up to 10% in the EU and up to 7.5% in the US)
