The usage rate of Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in formulations typically ranges from 1% to 10%, depending on the desired level of sun protection and the formulation design. However, the exact SPF (Sun Protection Factor) contribution depends on several factors, including the specific formulation of the sunscreen product, the concentration of this ingredient, and the presence of other UV filters or ingredients that may enhance or modify the SPF.

To provide a general idea, at higher concentrations, such as 5%, it can contribute significantly to achieving an SPF value of around 50, but it's not a direct 1-to-1 ratio where 5% equals SPF 50. The SPF value is determined through standardized testing procedures and can vary based on the overall formulation of the product.
