Scout's take
Octisalate (ethylhexyl salicylate) is a chemical UV filter that enhances absorption of other filters and has moderate concerns around hormone disruption with repeated exposure.
More from Scout's analyses
Octisalate is a chemical UV filter that acts as a penetration enhancer for other active ingredients, increasing systemic absorption of co-formulated filters.
