According to a new report from Intel Market Research, the global Sunscreen DHHB market was valued at USD 117 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 201 million by 2032, growing at a steady CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period (2025β2032). This growth is driven by increasing consumer awareness of UV protection, rising demand for advanced cosmetic formulations, and stringent regulatory standards for sun care products.
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (DHHB), chemically known as 4-diethylamino salicyl-benzoyl-hexyl benzoate, is an advanced organic UV filter that effectively absorbs both UVA and UVB radiation with exceptional photostability. Unlike traditional sunscreens that degrade under prolonged sun exposure, DHHB maintains its protective capabilities through extended periods without breaking down.
This compound is particularly valued for its excellent skin compatibility and ability to form a smooth, non-greasy protective layer. With minimal skin irritation and high safety profile, DHHB has become a preferred ingredient in premium sunscreens, daily moisturizers with SPF, and specialized UV-protective hair care products.
