Many cosmetics include UV filters that are listed as CECs, such as benzophenone derivatives (oxybenzone, OXYB), cinnamates (2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate, EMC) and camphor derivatives (4-methylbenzylidene-camphor,...

Previous reviews have mentioned UV-filter together but this review considers 4-MBC alone, due to its prevalence and concerning...
