This ingredient is known for its oil-soluble properties and is often used to enhance the overall sun protection factor (SPF) of skincare formulations.

Information

Ethylhexyl Salicylate, also known as octyl salicylate and octisalate, is a BEST-rated sunscreen ingredient with excellent photo-stability, making it a top choice for protecting the skin from harmful UVB radiation. Research has shown this UV filter can neutralize singlet oxygen, a type of free radical generated by exposure to UVB light. This ingredient is known for its oil-soluble properties and is often used to enhance the overall sun protection factor (SPF) of skincare formulations.

Where does it come from?

Ethylhexyl Salicylate is produced through the esterification of salicylic acid with 2-ethylhexanol. It is primarily produced in countries with advanced cosmetic industries like Germany and the United States. The raw materials used in its production, like salicylic acid, can be derived from natural sources such as willow bark.

What are the benefits?

PROTECTING GENTLE LIGHTWEIGHT

What are the benefits?

  • UVB Protection: It can absorb UVB rays, to protect from sunburn and skin irritation caused by sun exposure.
  • Enhances SPF: Ethylhexyl Salicylate contributes to the SPF of sunscreen products, making them more effective in protecting the skin from harmful UV radiation.
  • Oil-Soluble: Its oil-soluble nature allows it to blend well with other oil-based ingredients, ensuring a smooth application and even distribution on the skin.
  • Non-Irritating: Generally well-tolerated by the skin, it is suitable for use in formulations designed for sensitive skin.
  • Lightweight Feel: It has a lightweight, non-greasy texture, making it comfortable for daily wear under makeup or alone.

How is it used in our products?

Ethylhexyl Salicylate is used in F42 Corrective Face Cream from OLIVEDA.  It is included as a UVB filter to protect the skin from sunburn and other UV-related factors. It is often combined with other sunscreen agents to provide broad-spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
