UV-A/UV-B Filter
Sunbest-3BT
INCI: Tris-biphenyl Triazine

Formulator notes
Photostable broad-spectrum absorber covering UV-B (peak 310 nm) and UV-A II, supplied as an aqueous particle dispersion. Not approved for sunscreens in the US. Use 2-10%, not in sprays.
Hold it The molecule in AR on a phone, in 3D anywhere else.
Open in the SPF Lab An in-silico simulator over the Sunbest range, pre-loaded with this filter.
Highlights
- Broad-spectrum organic absorber covering UV-B and UV-A II.
- Conjugated triazine core with three biphenyl substituents (extended π-conjugation).
- Dissipates absorbed energy non-radiatively without chemical breakdown: hence highly photostable.
