Menthyl anthranilate

Menthyl anthranilate (CAS 134-09-8), also known as meradimate, is an organic UV filter used in sunscreen and photoprotection formulations. It absorbs UV radiation in the UVA range, allowing formulators to build broad-spectrum protection.

When combined with other UV actives, it enhances the overall efficacy of the product. Its primary use is as a UVA filter in sunscreen products including lotions, creams, sprays, and sticks, where it contributes to SPF ratings.

Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into daily moisturizers and color cosmetics that require incidental sun protection without heavy mineral filter loads. This makes it a versatile choice for modern skincare applications.

In lip care products, it provides UV protection while remaining compatible with emollient and wax-based systems. This compatibility ensures a smooth application and stable shelf life for various consumer goods.

Beyond finished cosmetics, it is also evaluated as a pharmaceutical intermediate in photoprotective topical drug formulations. These applications are often subject to specific OTC monograph requirements for safety.

Menthyl anthranilate is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications, with cosmetic-grade material meeting purity standards for personal care.

Packaging typically ranges from small drums to bulk quantities suited to commercial sunscreen manufacturing. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality and availability for large-scale industrial production needs.
