🩺 Clinical
Dr. Throwers SPF 30 Face and Body Sunscreen is a topical lotion containing four ultraviolet (UV) filter ingredients commonly used in over-the-counter sunscreen products. Avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene are chemical sun-blocking agents that function together to help protect skin from UVA and UVB radiation. This product is an OTC monograph drug, meaning it is marketed under FDA's established guidelines for sunscreen formulations rather than as an individually reviewed application. The lotion form is designed for application directly to the skin on the face and body.
