Homosalate is licensed worldwide. homosalate is biodegradable, does not bioaccumulate, and has no known aquatic toxicity. Its good environmental profile has been confirmed by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

An oil-soluble chemical sunscreen that protects the skin from UVB (295-315 nm) with peak protection at 306 nm.

One of the great things about it, though, is that it's liquid, which is great for dissolving other hard-to-dissolve powdered sunscreens, like the famous avobenzone.
We don't have the best news when it comes to the safety of Homosalate. In vitro (conducted in the laboratory) studies suggest that it may have some estrogenic activity. Don't panic, these studies were not done on real people under real world conditions. Still, if you're the "better be safe than sorry" type, use caution when using sunscreens containing homosalate all over your body long-term.

The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) examines its endocrine activities that may be harmful to consumer safety. The first group of 14 substances will be considered a priority for 2020. Homosalate is part of the first group of substances. According to the World Health Organization (WHO). By definition, homosalate is not an endocrine disruptor.
