General Description

NANOSUN EHMC, chemically known as Octyl Methoxycinnamate (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate), is a widely used oil-soluble UVB filter in sunscreen and personal care formulations. It works by absorbing harmful UVB radiation and converting it into less damaging energy, helping protect the skin from sunburn and photo-aging. Known for its excellent formulation compatibility, light sensory profile, and stability in oil phases, NANOSUN EHMC is commonly incorporated into modern sun care and daily protective skincare products.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry

NANOSUN EHMC plays a key role in various beauty and personal care categories, including:

  • Sunscreens & Sunblocks – Primary UVB-absorbing active for SPF protection.
  • Day Creams & Moisturizers with SPF – Provides daily defense against UV exposure.
  • Foundations, BB & CC Creams – Enhances SPF without affecting texture or coverage.
  • Lip Balms with SPF – Adds UV protection while maintaining smooth application.
  • Hair & Body Care with UV Protection – Helps prevent UV-induced damage and color fade.

Manufacturers often purchase NANOSUN EHMC in bulk for its efficiency, compatibility, and ability to boost SPF performance in both traditional and innovative formulations.

Hazards

NANOSUN EHMC is approved for cosmetic use and generally considered safe within regulated concentration limits. However, certain precautions apply:

  • Skin Sensitivity – Rare, but may cause mild irritation in highly sensitive individuals.
  • Photostability Concerns – May degrade under prolonged UV exposure; commonly paired with stabilizers like Avobenzone or antioxidants.
  • Eye Irritation – Avoid direct contact; can cause temporary discomfort.
  • Environmental Impact – May contribute to aquatic toxicity; some regions restrict its use due to reef safety concerns.

Always use within regional regulatory limits for sunscreen actives.

Storage & Stability

  • Storage: Keep in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
  • Stability: Highly stable in oil-based systems and compatible with most sunscreen filters and cosmetic ingredients.

NANOSUN EHMC is available for wholesale and bulk supply, ideal for formulators developing high-performance sunscreens and UV-protective cosmetics.

Formulator’s Queries, We Answered

Nanosun EHMC is the trade name you will use for the UV-B filter commonly known as octyl methoxycinnamate / octinoxate. Its INCI name is Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and the main CAS number used in regulatory listings is 5466-77-3

Nanosun EHMC is a UV-B absorbing organic filter used in sunscreens and many leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics to reduce UV-B-induced skin damage and sunburn. It is commonly combined with other UV filters or photostabilizers to broaden protection.

Yes. OMC (octyl methoxycinnamate), octinoxate, and EHMC (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate) are used interchangeably in industry literature — they refer to the same chemical family and typical material used as a UV-B filter

The European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) recently concluded that Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (EHMC) is safe as a UV filter up to 10% in finished cosmetic products when used under the assessed conditions (sunscreen lotion, face/hand cream, lipstick, sprays, etc.). If you plan to market Nanosun EHMC at or above that level, ensure your formulation and labeling follow the jurisdictional safety dossier requirements.

Recent reviews and regulatory opinions note that EHMC shows endocrine-active signals (weak estrogenic and anti-androgenic activity in some studies), and there is evidence that organic sunscreen filters can be systemically absorbed and detected in blood in human studies. Regulatory safety opinions have evaluated those data when setting use limits and conditions. Product developers should rely on up-to-date safety dossiers and post-market surveillance data
