It contains four UV filter ingredients (avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene) that are typically used together to absorb ultraviolet radiation across a broad spectrum of wavelengths. The product is intended for application to skin to help protect against sun exposure. Avobenzone is included to provide UVA protection, while the other three ingredients work primarily against UVB rays and also contribute to UVA coverage.
