Uvinul A Plus (DHHB)
INCI: diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate
Uvinul A Plus (diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, DHHB) is the most important dedicated UVA filter of the current generation, absorbing strongly in the critical UVA-I range of 340–400 nm — the deeply penetrating wavelengths responsible for photoageing and pigmentation. It is photostable, oil-soluble, and pairs ideally with UVB filters to build complete-spectrum formulas. Unlike older UVA filters it does not degrade meaningfully in sunlight, keeping protection intact through real-world exposure. EU-approved up to 10%. Any serious anti-aging or anti-melasma strategy lives or dies with UVA defence; sunscreens featuring Uvinul A Plus alongside Tinosorb filters represent the current best practice.
