Chemical compound
Bisoctrizole (INN[1]/USAN,[2] marketed by BASF as Tinosorb M, by DSM Nutritional Products as Parsol Max, by Everlight Chemical as Eversorb M, and by MPI as Milestab 360, INCI methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol) is a phenolic benzotriazole that is added to sunscreens to absorb UV rays.[3] It is a broad-spectrum ultraviolet radiation absorber, absorbing UVB as well as UVA rays.[3] It also reflects and scatters UV.[citation needed]
Bisoctrizole is what is termed is a hybrid UV absorber, which has been described as an organic UV filter produced in microfine organic particles (< 200 nm),[verification needed][4][better source needed][5][non-primary source needed] like microfine zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.[dubious – discuss][citation needed] Where other organic UV absorbers dissolved in either the oily or aqueous phases, bisoctrizole dissolves poorly in both.[citation needed]
Hence, bisoctrizole is formulated in sunscreen preparations as a 50% suspension, the absorber added to the water phase,[contradictory] and mineral micropigments usually added to the oil phase.[citation needed] The bisoctrizole particles are stabilized by the surfactant decyl glucoside.[citation needed] The compound shows very little photodegradation, and has a stabilizing effect on other UV absorbers, octyl methoxycinnamate (octinoxate) in particular.[citation needed]
In primary research reports, bisoctrizole has been reported to minimally penetrate skin,[6][non-primary source needed] and has been described as lacking estrogenic effects in vitro.[7][non-primary source needed]
As of this date,[when?] bisoctrizole had not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),[citation needed] but is approved in the EU and other parts of the world.[8][better source needed][9][10][full citation needed]
