Results showed no mutagenic or clastogenic effects, even at concentrations exceeding typical cosmetic use. Phototoxicity tests, such as the 3T3 neutral red uptake assay and in vivo guinea pig models, further confirmed the filters&#8217; safety, with no signs of skin irritation post-UV exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Yibei Zhan, the corresponding author, emphasized the stability of triazine structures as a key factor in their safety. &#8220;Our multi-assay approach addresses regulatory concerns, particularly in markets like the U.S., where approval demands robust data,&#8221; Zhan noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research validates the EU&#8217;s approval of EHT and HEB while providing evidence to accelerate global acceptance.
