Products with Octisalate

Octisalate is a UVB filter and solubilizer that appears in eight sun-protection products at ELLEMES.

The Supporting Filter Behind Many Broad-Spectrum Formulas

Octisalate — ethylhexyl salicylate on an ingredient panel — absorbs UVB while quietly doing a second job: it dissolves other UV filters that would otherwise be difficult to work with. That solubilizing role is why it usually sits midway down an active ingredient list rather than at the top of it.

Here it turns up in EltaMD UV Sport SPF 50, EltaMD UV Daily Hydration+ SPF 50, SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense SPF 30 and Obagi Lip Therapy AM SPF 30. EltaMD, SkinCeuticals, Revision Skincare and Obagi all formulate with it.

Can octisalate be used on lips?

Yes, and it commonly is. SPF lip treatments favor it because its mild texture is easier to wear comfortably than a thick mineral balm.

How to shop at ELLEMES

Each sunscreen here is sourced through the brand as an authorized retailer, and our staff can point you toward a water-resistant or a tinted option depending on how you plan to wear it.
