Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, also known as Uvinul A Plus, is a chemical compound commonly used in cosmetics and sunscreens for its excellent UV-absorbing properties. Its chemical formula is C24H31NO4. As an organic UV filter, it plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation, particularly UVA and UVB rays.
In the cosmetic industry, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate is highly valued for its exceptional UV-absorbing properties. It serves as a key component in sunscreen formulations, offering effective protection against both UVA and UVB radiation. This UV filter ensures that cosmetic products provide comprehensive sun protection, preventing sunburn, premature skin aging, and the risk of skin cancer. Due to its stability and compatibility with various cosmetic ingredients, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate is widely used in sunscreens, moisturizers, foundations, and other skincare and makeup products, allowing consumers to enjoy both beauty enhancement and essential sun defense.
Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate is lipophilic, meaning it is soluble in oils/fats/lipids, which positively impacts this ingredient’s affinity for the epidermis, since this layer of skin contains natural lipids. Due to its role of protecting skin from damaging UVA rays that accelerate signs of aging, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate can be considered an anti-aging ingredient. This type of radiation is present all day long, and penetrates deeply into skin, where it causes a cascade of damage that leads to many signs of aging, such as coarse wrinkles and loss of firmness.

In raw material form, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate’s appearance is described as a white to light salmon colored granular powder. Due to its oil-soluble nature, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate must be incorporated in the oil phase of emulsions.
Applications
● Light stabilizer-Helps other ingredients resist breakdown when exposed to sunlight so the product keeps working as promised for its full shelf life
● UV absorber - Soaks up high-energy UVA rays before they can reach the skin surface reducing the risk of sunburn premature aging and dark spots
● UV filter-Works with other filters to build a broad-spectrum shield allowing brands to hit higher SPF numbers without making the texture heavy or greasy
Advantages
● Absorbing long-wave rays
● Soaking up excess light energy
● Sun protection agent
