Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate)

Scout's take
Chemical UV filter added to stabilize fragrance color. Confirmed endocrine disruptor with estrogen-receptor binding and anti-androgen activity in cell and animal studies. Banned in Hawaii and several Pacific reef jurisdictions for environmental hormone effects. Pure aesthetic addition — unnecessary in a leave-on cosmetic.
