Homosalate in skincare: is it safe?
What it is
Homosalate is an ingredient Klyva classifies under Sunscreen.
Is it safe?
Homosalate is permitted in cosmetics but restricted by concentration under EU rules — Klyva flags it at low concern. A UV filter capped by concentration in the EU after safety review — we can’t see the level used.
