🩺 Clinical
Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen SPF 15 is an over-the-counter topical lotion formulated under FDA monograph rules for sunscreen products. It contains four active UV filter ingredients: avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene, which are commonly used together to absorb and scatter ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This combination of filters is typical in broad-spectrum sunscreen lotions applied to the skin to help reduce sun exposure. The product is marketed as a tanning sunscreen, meaning it is designed for use during sun exposure rather than as a pure protective sunblock.
