Tinosorb® M

INCI: Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol 

Bisoctrizole [MBBT]

Broad-spectrum UV filter for the water phase
Demand is high for sunscreens with broad-spectrum UV filters. Tinosorb® M provides the broadest-possible UV protection based on micro-fine organic particle technology. The photo- stable UV filter functions in the water phase and thus combines soluble components in the oil phase. It is highly efficient at low concentration, free of preservatives and can be processed cold. Tinosorb® M is the filter of choice for sun care and face care concepts that meet the demand for broadest-possible protection.

Function: UVA + UVB [280-400nm] – absorbs both UVA and UVB rays, reflects & scatters some of them too. Protects against High-Energy Visible (HEV)

Sustainability Benefits

• Cold processable
• Complexity reduction
• Does not contain preservative
• Helps to prevent long term skin damage
• High efficiency at low concentration

• shows little photo degradation, so it’s pretty photo-stable
• dissolves poorly in both oil & water 
• helps stabilize other UV filters (esp octinoxate)

• minimally absorbed by skin 
• non-irritating to skin
• produced as microfine particles

max dose: 10%
