🩺 Clinical
Good Instincts Proper Sunscreen SPF 50 is a topical cream containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, both mineral-based UV filters commonly used in over-the-counter sunscreen products. These active ingredients function to reflect and scatter ultraviolet radiation away from the skin. This product is marketed as an OTC monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established category rules for sunscreen formulations rather than undergoing individual product review.
