Contraindications and precautions for use
As a recent UV filter on the market, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine has limited documentation on its long-term adverse effects.
However, the data available to date indicate a good tolerability profile. Although rare cases of skin irritation have been reported, it is considered safe and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Moreover, studies in vitro have shown that it does not exhibit intrinsic oestrogenic or androgenic activity, unlike some older sun filters.
