Human biomonitoring data indicate low systemic exposure from normal sunscreen use, and current reviews do not identify specific reproductive or developmental toxicity signals at approved concentrations.

Sources: SCCP opinion referenced in Directive 2008/123/EC: concludes that Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate used at a maximum of 10% in cosmetic (including sunscreen) products does not pose a risk to the consumer. Regulatory summaries (e.g. CosLaw and CIRS Group updates, 2025) reviewing the SCCS DHHB opinion and reiterating that DHHB remains permitted up to 10% in EU cosmetics when impurity limits are respected.
