UV-absorbing and other sun-protecting substances: genotoxicity of 2-ethylhexyl P-methoxycinnamate
Mutation Research
|November 1, 1982
Abstract:
The mutagenicity of 2-ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate was demonstrated when 25 sunscreen ingredients were tested in the Salmonella/microsome assay. This substance also increased the frequency of sex-linked recessive lethals in Drosophila melanogaster. A trace contaminant may be implicated because many samples were obtained from several sources and the results were batch-related.
