Octocryle and Octyl Methoxycinnate have long been used in sun care formulas, but they are slowly fading out from the market in recent years due to increasing concern on product safety and environment protection.
If you are looking for a more safe, long-lasting, broad-spectrum UV filter, Sunsafe-BMTZ is a good choice to have. It is worth recognizing as it is one of the best sunscreen agents known today. Unfortunately, it’s not FDA-approved so you will not find it in sunscreens coming from the US (not because it’s not good, but because US regulations make it impossible for newer sunscreen agents to get approved), but it is widely available in other parts of the world like Europe, Australia or Asia.
It is a broad-spectrum (covers the whole UVB and UVA range, 280-400 nm) chemical sunscreen agent with peak protections at about 310 and 345 nm and unlike older UV filters, it’s very photostable. It hardly deteriorates in the presence of UV light and it’s also useful in stabilizing other less stable sunscreen agents, like the famous UVA protector, Sunsafe-ABZ.
It’s a new generation sunscreen agent that was specifically designed for high SPF and good UVA protection and based on a 2007 study that compared 18 sunscreen agents available in the EU it really had the best SPF protection (they used the highest concentration allowed by EU regulations from each 18 sunscreens and Sunsafe-BMTZ gave an SPF 20 all by itself).
It is an oil-soluble, slightly yellowish powder that is not absorbed into the skin too much. This is good news for a sunscreen agent as it needs to be on the surface of the skin to do its job properly. Regarding side effects, we have good news here as well: it has a great safety profile and unlike a couple of other chemical sunscreens, Sunsafe-BMTZ does not show estrogenic activity.
