Ethylhexyl Triazone (EHT) is an oil-soluble UV filter used primarily in sunscreens and skincare products. It provides high-efficiency broad-spectrum protection by absorbing UVB radiation. EHT offers excellent photostability, making it ideal for long-lasting sun protection, even under harsh sunlight conditions. It is commonly used in sunscreen formulations for effective sun shielding. The structure contains a 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring, which is a heterocyclic compound with nitrogen and oxygen atoms, and a 2-ethylhexyl group attached to it.
