As awareness of environmental sustainability grows, consumers are increasingly scrutinizing the ingredients in their personal care products, including sunscreens. Certain chemical UV filters have come under scrutiny for their potential impact on marine ecosystems, particularly coral reefs. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we believe in providing ingredients that not only perform exceptionally but also align with growing environmental consciousness. Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (DHHB) is one such ingredient that offers a compelling combination of efficacy and a more favorable environmental profile compared to some traditional filters.

The Concern: UV Filters and Marine Life

Research has indicated that some common chemical UV filters, such as Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, can contribute to coral bleaching and harm marine life. As sunscreen washes off during swimming or showering, these chemicals can enter waterways and oceans. Given the already threatened state of coral reefs due to climate change and pollution, the choice of sunscreen ingredients has become a critical consideration for environmentally conscious consumers and brands alike.

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate: A More Sustainable Choice?

While no sunscreen ingredient is entirely without environmental consideration, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate is often cited as a preferable alternative to some of the more problematic UV filters. Studies and regulatory assessments suggest that DHHB has a lower potential for negative environmental impact compared to filters like Oxybenzone. Its excellent photostability means it's less likely to degrade into potentially harmful byproducts, and its chemical structure is generally considered less disruptive to marine ecosystems.

Furthermore, the safety profile of DHHB has been extensively reviewed. It is approved for use in cosmetic products in many major markets, with scientific committees deeming it safe for consumers when used within recommended concentrations. This combination of good performance and a comparatively better environmental footprint makes it an attractive option for brands looking to create 'reef-friendly' or 'ocean-friendly' sun care lines. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to supplying high-quality DHHB that meets these standards.
