🩺 Clinical
This is a daytime facial moisturizing lotion applied to skin that combines three ultraviolet (UV) filtering agents: homosalate, octocrylene, and zinc oxide. These ingredients are typically used together in sunscreen products to help protect skin from UVA and UVB rays. The product is marketed as an over-the-counter monograph sunscreen, meaning it follows the FDA's established rules for this category rather than being individually reviewed.
