Description
Menthyl anthranilate (CAS 134-09-8) is an organic UV filter commercially known under trade names including Meradimate, Neo Heliopan MA, and Antisolaire. It is a liquid ester combining menthol and anthranilic acid, classified under HS code 2922493800 and registered under EC number 205-129-8. No E-code designation applies to this substance.
In sunscreen and photoprotective cosmetic formulations, menthyl anthranilate functions as a UVA absorber, capturing ultraviolet radiation in the 320–400 nm range and dissipating it as heat rather than allowing skin penetration. It is also used as a UV stabilizer in personal care products to protect fragrance components and other light-sensitive actives from photodegradation.
Menthyl anthranilate is available in pharmaceutical-grade quality, including Meradimate USP, meeting standards relevant to regulated cosmetic and topical applications. The substance is subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU. Packaging formats are available to suit procurement volumes typical of industrial formulation operations.
