🩺 Clinical
MDP UV Bio Sunscreen is a topical cream containing four active ingredients that function as ultraviolet (UV) filters. Homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene are organic UV-absorbing compounds, while zinc oxide is an inorganic mineral that reflects and scatters UV light. These ingredients are commonly combined in sunscreen products to help shield skin from sun exposure. This is an over-the-counter monograph drug, meaning it is marketed under FDA's established guidelines for sunscreen products rather than through individual product approval.
