🩺 Clinical
City Block Sheer Oil Free Daily Face Protector is a topical cream sunscreen containing titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, two mineral UV filters. These active ingredients are commonly used in sunscreen products to reflect and scatter ultraviolet light away from the skin as a broad-spectrum sun protectant. This product is marketed as an over-the-counter monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established recipe for sunscreen products rather than being individually approved.
