Amiloxate (CAS 71617-10-2), also known as isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate, is an organic UV filter used in sun care and cosmetic formulations.

Where is Amiloxate used?

Sunscreens: UVB-absorbing active at concentrations permitted under regional cosmetic regulations
Daily-wear cosmetics such as moisturizers and foundations: incidental UV protection
Lip care and hair protection products: UVB defense alongside aesthetic elegance
It absorbs UVB radiation, protecting skin and light-sensitive formulations from solar degradation.
