Uses

Used in Sun Care Industry:
MENTHYL SALICYLATE is used as a "sun screen" for filtering out ultraviolet light in preparations for preventing sunburn. It helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of sunburn and skin damage.
Used in Plastics Industry:
MENTHYL SALICYLATE is used as a light stabilizer in the plastics industry. It helps prevent the degradation of plastics caused by exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors, thereby extending the lifespan and maintaining the appearance of plastic products.

Transparent cosmetic composition that reflects infrared radiation and its use for protecting the human epidermis against infrared radiation

Transparent cosmetic composition that reflects infrared radiation and its use for protecting the human epidermis against infrared radiation. The invention relates to a transparent cosmetic composition comprising, by way of an agent that reflects infrared radiation for protecting the human epidermis, a substance which is dispersible in the cosmetic medium used, possessing a reflectance (R) of infrared radiation equal to at least 45%, and of which a 2% strength dispersion in vaseline possesses an optical transmission in the visible of at least 85%, chosen from a diatom of particle size less than 100 microns, hollow glass microspheres of size less than 100 microns, a bismuth oxychloride of particle size less than 75 microns and zirconium powder covered ceramic microparticles of particle size less than 8 microns. This cosmetic composition can also contain 0.5 to 20% by weight of UV-A, UV-B or broad-band screening agents.
