🩺 Clinical
Mineral Defense Sport Antioxidant Face Sunscreen SPF-50 is a topical lotion sunscreen containing zinc oxide as its active ingredient. Zinc oxide is a mineral sunscreen agent that functions by reflecting and scattering ultraviolet light away from the skin. This product is marketed as an over-the-counter monograph sunscreen, meaning it is regulated under FDA's established rule-book for sunscreen products rather than as an individually approved drug application.
