Ashland added this UV filter technology to its line of Escalol UV filters to meet growing demand and to better support a range of broad-spectrum UV formulation solutions. Manufacturers of sunscreens may use Escalol HMS UV filter at levels as high as 15% in the U.S. and 10% in the European Union. Oil soluble, the UV filter is compatible in a range of lotion and spray systems. An organic compound and ester formed from salicylic acid and 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol, Escalol HMS UV filter absorbs medium wavelength rays within the UVB spectrum.
