Description
CHEMICAL UV-FILTER OF THE OLD GENERATION! Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (also known as octyl methoxycinnamate) is an active ingredient in over-the-counter sunscreens. It is used in products applied to the skin to absorb, reflect, or scatter UV rays; it protects the skin from sunburn and other harmful effects of the sun. Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate also protects cosmetics from damage caused by UV rays, allowing them to last longer in high UV conditions.
