🩺 Clinical
Sea Star Sparkle SPF-50 PARTY CAKE is a topical cream formulated as an over-the-counter sunscreen under FDA's OTC monograph rules. It contains four active ingredients that function as ultraviolet (UV) filters: octinoxate, octisalate, and octocrylene are organic compounds that absorb UV radiation, while zinc oxide is a mineral reflectant that scatters and blocks UV rays. These ingredients are combined in sunscreen products to help reduce skin exposure to ultraviolet light.
