🩺 Clinical
ProtecTINT 46N is a topical cream containing three active ingredients commonly used in sunscreen products. Homosalate and octisalate are UV filters that work to absorb ultraviolet light, while zinc oxide is a mineral UV filter that reflects and scatters UV rays. This is an over-the-counter monograph product, meaning it is marketed under FDA's established rules for sunscreen ingredients rather than as an individually reviewed new drug application.
