Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate or Octinoxate is an UV Absorber and it is used in products that are applied to the skin and hair (such as Hair & Body Sun spray) to absorb, reflect or scatter UV rays. This serves to protect the skin from sunburn as well as other damaging effects of the sun to skin and hair. Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate also protects cosmetics and personal care products from deterioration caused by UV rays.
