DHHB is a novel oil-soluble UV filter with the following key features:
Broad UVA Coverage:
Effectively absorbs across the entire UVA spectrum (320–400 nm), addressing both UVA-I (340–400 nm) and UVA-II (320–340 nm).
High Protective Efficiency:
Boosts UVA Protection:
Adding 2.5% DHHB increases UVA Protection Factor (UVA-PF) from 2 to 5.
At 10% concentration, UVA-PF can reach 30, demonstrating exceptional dose-dependent efficacy.
Free Radical Defense:
Acts as an antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals generated under UV exposure, thereby reducing oxidative skin damage (e.g., collagen degradation).
Photostability:
Maintains >90% efficacy after 2 hours of UV exposure (MED testing), outperforming traditional UVA filters like avobenzone.
Applications:
Ideal for sunscreens, moisturizers, and anti-aging cosmetics requiring high UVA protection.
Compatible with both organic and inorganic (e.g., ZnO) UV filters for synergistic broad-spectrum protection.
