🩺 Clinical
Daydream Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 40 is a topical cream containing zinc oxide, an over-the-counter sunscreen ingredient marketed under FDA's established monograph rules for sunscreen products. Zinc oxide functions as a mineral UV filter, typically used to help protect skin from ultraviolet radiation exposure when applied to the skin. This product is formulated to provide broad spectrum protection, meaning it is intended to filter both UVA and UVB rays. The cream form is applied directly to exposed skin areas before sun exposure.
