🩺 Clinical
This is a topical lotion sunscreen containing zinc oxide, a mineral active ingredient commonly used to help protect skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays. Zinc oxide functions as a physical UV filter that reflects and scatters sunlight away from the skin. This product is an over-the-counter monograph drug, meaning it is marketed under established FDA rules for sunscreen products rather than through an individual drug application. The lotion formulation is typically applied directly to exposed skin areas.
