Octinoxate in Face Moisturizer

Efficient UVB absorber with a lightweight, cosmetically elegant texture that doesn't leave a white cast.

In our database, 6 face moisturizer products contain Octinoxate as a flagged ingredient. The actual number on the market is likely much higher, as our database covers major brands but not every product available.

Risk depends on exposure route and frequency. Face Moisturizer products are applied to the skin, where ingredients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Daily application leads to detectable blood levels. Mineral sunscreens are preferred for daily use.

Look for face moisturizer products that use zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, iron oxides (supplementary) instead of Octinoxate. Numbrrrz lip balm uses only organic, food-grade ingredients and contains zero flagged chemicals.
