🩺 Clinical
Melao Tallow Sunscreen is a topical cream containing two active ingredients, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and ethylhexyl salicylate. Both compounds function as ultraviolet (UV) filters and are commonly used in sunscreen products to help protect skin from sun exposure. This product is marketed as an over-the-counter monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established rules for sunscreen ingredients rather than undergoing individual product review.
