Description

Chemical UV-filter of a new generation! Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, also known as Tinosorb M, is a filter component widely used in cosmetics as a sunscreen. Its main function is to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Ultraviolet radiation contains two main types of rays: UVA and UVB. Both types can cause damage to the skin, causing sunburn, premature aging of the skin, pigmentation, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Tinosorb M acts as a filter for a wide range of UV rays, meaning that it is able to absorb and disperse both UVA and UVB rays. It helps to prevent the penetration of these rays onto the skin, reducing their impact and the risk of damage.
