The EU’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has recommended that Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (DHHB), used in cosmetics to absorb UVA radiation, be used at a maximum level of 0.026%.
The ingredient can contain small amounts of an unwanted chemical by-product called DnHexP. DnHexP is a phthalate linked to potential health concerns, such as hormonal disruptions. Members of the personal care industry have expressed concerns over the presence of DnHexP as a contaminant in the production of DHHB.
