Meradimate acts by absorbing both the UVA and UVB radiation, this provides this ingredient with a broad spectrum and it explains why it is highly used in different products such as lip balms, lipsticks, and moisturizers. Its protective effective action does not cover completely the UVA rays as it only reaches 336 nm. This has been proven even thought meradimate has a theoretical protective coverage range between 200-380 nm. Its function is related to the intrinsic structure of meradimate which is an ortho-disubstituted aminobenzoate. This structure allows easy electron delocalization and shifts in the maximum absorption.
Meradimate is not absorbed through the skin.
As meradimate is not absorbed, this pharmacokinetic property is not relevant.

DTXSID3047895CHEMBL1597075CHEBI:135974Usesmenthyl anthranilate is the only FDA-approved liquid sunscreen chemical with uVA-absorption capabilities. It has an approved usage level of 3.5 to 5 percent. This is a stable ingredient and can be combined with other sunscreen chemicals to increase SPF while providing uVA protection.
UsesMeradimate or menthyl anthranilate is a weak UVB filter and with absorption mainly in the near UVA portion of the spectrum. They are less effective than benzophenones in this range and are less widely used.
UsesMenthyl Anthranilate is used as a UV filter in skin care formulations.
General DescriptionMenthyl anthranilate is a fluorescent agent and a UV filter that can be used as an alternative to oxybenzone. It is majorly used in sunscreen based products. It can be easily mixed in cosmetic oils and can also be emulsified in aqueous formulations.
DefinitionChEBI: Meradimate is a monoterpenoid.
