Tinosorb M (Bisoctrizole)
INCI: methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol
Tinosorb M (methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol, bisoctrizole) is the first "organic micro-particle" UV filter: a photostable organic absorber milled into micro-fine particles that both absorb and scatter UV — behaving half like a mineral, half like an organic filter. It covers UVB and UVA broadly, is virtually non-absorbing into skin, and has minimal allergy potential. Its scattering component even boosts visible-light protection, relevant for melasma and darker skin tones. At up to 10% it is a pillar of European dermatologist-recommended sunscreens. Users with filter sensitivities who tolerate no classic organic filters usually tolerate Tinosorb M well.
