4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (Cat No.:I003356), also known as Enzacamene, is an organic compound derived from camphor. It is widely used in the cosmetic industry for its photoprotective properties against UV B radiation. 4-MBC acts as a sunscreen agent, absorbing and filtering UV B rays to prevent their harmful effects on the skin. It is often incorporated into sunscreens, moisturizers, and other skincare products to protect against sunburn and potential long-term damage caused by excessive UV exposure. The inclusion of 4-MBC in cosmetic formulations helps safeguard the skin from the adverse effects of UV radiation.
