Solubility of DHHB in LipidSoft vs. C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

Based on the product information for DHHB (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate), it has a solubility of up to 23% in LipidSoft.

For comparison, DHHB shows higher solubility in other common sunscreen solvents:

• Up to 39% in Octocrylene
• Up to 39% in OMC (Octyl Methoxycinnamate)
• Up to 36% in Homosalate
• Up to 30% in Octisalate

While the specific solubility percentage of DHHB in C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is not explicitly stated in the DHHB description, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is widely recognized as an excellent solvent for many organic UV filters. Given that DHHB's solubility in general LipidSoft is listed at 23%, and its solubility in other good solvents is significantly higher (up to 39%), it is likely that DHHB's solubility in C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is higher than in LipidSoft types like Isononyl Isononanoate.

Therefore, DHHB and other chemical filters may not dissolve in various LipidSoft types to the same extent as they do in C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate. C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is generally expected to provide better solubility for DHHB than LipidSoft.

Remember that DHHB is a powder and requires heating to around 80°C to dissolve properly in oil phases.
