Bemotrizinol

Bemotrizinol(bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, BEMT) is a highly effective, photostable organic sunscreen ingredient that absorbs both UVA and UVB rays, offering broad-spectrum protection, and is known for minimal skin absorption and irritation.

It is the most efficient oil soluble broad-spectrum UV filter. By the incorporation of low concentrations of it, a high contribution to SPF and UVA-PF is achieved. BEMT is an efficient performance booster with excellent photostability, also it is an outstanding stabilizer for photoinstable UV filters.

Unlike some other organic sunscreen actives, it shows no estrogenic effects in vitro.
