  Solubility of sunscreen

  Posted by ssdc on February 10, 2015 at 4:31 am

  I am trying to understand the solubility mechanism of UV filters, what are the bonds form and break for the UV filters to be soluble. 

  I have two esters

  1. triethylhexanoin

  2. Medium chain triglyceride

  UV filter: Tinosorb S

  Both the esters have the same number of ester bonds but why do they give different solubility properties?

  Do steric hindrance play a role?
