Expert Verdict
Aminobenzoate-class UV filters are associated with photoallergy and phototoxicity risks; PABA and several PABA esters have been largely phased out due to sensitization concerns.. The dimethylcyclohexenylmethyl group suggests a terpenoid-like hydrophobic moiety, which would improve oil solubility and substantivity on skin.
