Frequently Asked Questions About ZLEY® EHF – Ethylhexyl Ferulate
Q1: What is the difference between Ethylhexyl Ferulate and Ferulic Acid?
Ethylhexyl Ferulate is the lipophilic (oil-soluble) derivative of ferulic acid. Compared to water-soluble ferulic acid, it offers better oil solubility, stability, and skin penetration. This makes it easier to incorporate into oil-based formulations like sunscreens and anti-aging products, and it is resistant to oxidation and discoloration.
Q2: How does it enhance sun protection efficacy?
It boosts sun protection through three primary mechanisms:
① Direct UV Absorption: It absorbs a portion of UV radiation itself.
② Photostabilization: It helps stabilize other organic filters (like Avobenzone), preventing their rapid degradation under UV light.
③ Antioxidant Action: It reduces free radical damage induced by UV exposure. Studies indicate that adding 2% Ethylhexyl Ferulate can increase the overall SPF value by 20-30%.
Q3: Which UV filters can it be combined with?
It demonstrates excellent synergistic effects with commonly used filters such as Avobenzone, Octocrylene, and Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate). It is particularly valuable for stabilizing Avobenzone, helping to prevent its rapid degradation upon exposure to UVA radiation.
