Application
3-(4-Methylbenzylidene)camphor (4-MBC, Enzacamene, Eusolex 6300, Parsol 5000) is an organic camphor derivative widely used as an efficient UV-B filter in sunscreen and cosmetic formulations. It absorbs UV-B radiation in the 290–320 nm range (peak ~300 nm) and also offers short-wave UVA coverage. As an oil-soluble, photostable active ingredient, it is incorporated into sunscreens, daily moisturizers, lip balms, foundations, and other personal care products to protect skin against harmful solar radiation. It is approved for use in sunscreens in the EU, Canada, Australia, and many other countries at a maximum concentration of 4%. When formulating, 4-MBC effectively stabilizes avobenzone and improves the water resistance of sunscreen products.
