Description

Homomenthyl Salicylate is a synthetic organic ester widely recognized for its efficacy as a UV-B filter. This compound matters for formulators seeking a photostable and oil-soluble ingredient that provides reliable sun protection. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care and cosmetics industries for sunscreen lotions, creams, and daily wear products.

Application

• Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen Formulations: Acts as a primary or supplementary UV-B filter in sun care products (SPF 15-50+).
• Daily Wear & Cosmetic Products: Incorporated into moisturizers, foundations, and lip balms for everyday UV protection.
• After-Sun & Skincare Lotions: Used in products designed to soothe and protect skin post-sun exposure.
• Hair Care Products: Provides UV protection in hair sprays, serums, and leave-in conditioners to prevent color fading and damage.
• Functional Coatings: Potential use in protective coatings for materials susceptible to UV degradation.
• Industrial Sunscreen Blends: For formulating sunscreens used in occupational settings (e.g., construction, agriculture).
