I would like to ask if the substance BEMT, which is equivalent to Tinosorb S, has a different chemical composition compared to Tinosorb S itself.

Answer

BEMT vs Tinosorb S: Chemical Composition

Regarding your question about the difference in chemical composition between BEMT and Tinosorb S, BEMT (Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) is the INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) name for the chemical compound also known by the trade name Tinosorb S.

Therefore, they are the same chemical substance with the chemical name Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. There is no difference in their fundamental chemical structure or composition.

While the chemical itself is the same, different suppliers might offer the product under various trade names (like Tinosorb S from BASF) and potentially in different physical forms (e.g., powder, dispersion) or with slightly different specifications regarding purity or particle size. However, the active UV filtering molecule is identical.
