🩺 Clinical
Protekt SPF-50 Sheer Mineral Sunscreen is a topical cream containing zinc oxide, a mineral ingredient commonly used in sunscreen products to help block ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This product is marketed as an over-the-counter monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established rules for sunscreen products rather than undergoing individual product review. Zinc oxide functions as a physical sunscreen agent that sits on the skin surface to reflect and scatter UV rays.
