🩺 Clinical
This is a topical sunscreen cream containing four active ingredients that function as ultraviolet (UV) light filters. Avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene are organic compounds typically used in sunscreen products to absorb and scatter UVA and UVB radiation from the sun. This product is marketed as an over-the-counter monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established safety and effectiveness standards for sunscreen ingredients rather than being individually reviewed as a new drug application.
