It contains four UV-filtering ingredients (avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene) that are commonly used in sunscreen products to absorb or reflect ultraviolet light. As an OTC monograph drug, it is marketed under FDA's established rules for sunscreen products rather than as an individually reviewed application. The lotion form is designed for topical application to the face and body.
