🩺 Clinical
Circadia Circa-Shield Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is a topical cream containing zinc oxide, a mineral sunscreen active ingredient. Zinc oxide is commonly used in sunscreen products to help protect skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation by reflecting and scattering UV rays away from the skin. This is an over-the-counter monograph drug, meaning it is marketed under FDA's established rules for sunscreen products rather than as an individually reviewed application.
