Researchers evaluated the safety profiles of ethylhexyl triazone (EHT) and diethylhexyl butamido triazone (HEB) using integrated genotoxicity and phototoxicity assessments. The studies found no significant increases in mutagenic or chromosomal damage, and only minor micronucleus increases at high concentrations.
