Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine is a modern, broad-spectrum UV filter commonly used in UK sunscreens and daily moisturisers. It protects skin against both UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent premature ageing and sun damage. Often called BEMT, it is valued for being photostable, easy to formulate and gentle on skin.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetic formulations this oil-soluble ingredient works as a highly efficient broad-spectrum sunscreen filter that absorbs both UVA and UVB radiation. It is frequently combined with other UV filters to boost overall protection and improve water resistance. Its excellent photostability means it does not break down easily in sunlight, helping to maintain the efficacy of the product throughout the day.
