Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of UV-absorbing compounds, particularly in the production of advanced sunscreen agents. It plays a key role in developing photostable, broad-spectrum sun protection due to its ability to enhance the stability and performance of organic UV filters. Commonly found in cosmetic formulations where long-term skin protection and resistance to degradation under sunlight are critical. Also utilized in polymer systems to prevent UV-induced degradation, extending the lifespan of coatings, plastics, and outdoor materials.
