🩺 Clinical
Biolumin-C Heat Aging Protector SPF50 is a topical lotion that contains multiple UV-filtering ingredients commonly used in sunscreen products. Octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate, and avobenzone function as ultraviolet (UV) absorbers, each working to help filter different wavelengths of sun exposure. This is an over-the-counter monograph product, meaning it is formulated according to FDA's established rules for sunscreen ingredients rather than as an individually reviewed drug application.
