|Section2= |Section3= }} 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC, enzacamene) is an organic camphor derivative that is used in the cosmetic industry for its ability to protect the skin against UV, specifically UV B radiation. As such it is used in sunscreen lotions and other skincare products claiming a SPF value. Its tradenames include Eusolex 6300 (Merck) and Parsol 5000 (DSM). ==Mechanism== All the camphor sunscreens are supposed to dissipate the photon energy by cis-trans isomerisation. But for 4-MBC the quantum yield for this isomerisation is reported to be only between 0.13 - 0.3. This low quantum yield means that other photochemical processes are occurring.〔''Sun Protection in Man''. Chapter 26: Cantrell, Ann; McGarvey, David J.; Truscott, T. George.
