🩺 Clinical
This is a tinted sunscreen cream applied to the skin to help protect against ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The active ingredient is zinc oxide, a mineral UV filter commonly used in over-the-counter sunscreen products. This product is marketed under the FDA's established rules for sunscreen monograph drugs, meaning the ingredient and strength follow a standard set formula rather than being individually approved by the FDA. The cream form delivers the protective agent in a base that can be spread evenly across exposed skin.
