Ingredient
Ensulizole
INCI: Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid
Water-soluble UVB filter that helps create lightweight, non-greasy sunscreens.
Ensulizole absorbs UVB rays (290–320 nm) and is solubilized in water-based phases, allowing translucent or gel-cream textures. It is photostable and rarely sensitizing, though it must be neutralized with bases such as triethanolamine in formulation.
