🩺 Clinical
Mineral Moisture Defense SPF 50 is a topical cream marketed as an over-the-counter sunscreen under FDA monograph rules. It contains two mineral active ingredients, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which are typically used as physical (mineral) UV filters to help protect skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays. These ingredients work by reflecting and scattering UV light away from the skin surface. This product is commonly applied to exposed skin as part of daily sun protection routines.
