🩺 Clinical
Absolut Skin SPF 50 Moisturizing Sunscreen is a topical cream containing four ultraviolet (UV) filters commonly used in over-the-counter sunscreen products. Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol, and octocrylene are chemical UV absorbers that function to help block or absorb UV radiation from the sun. This product is marketed as an OTC monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established rules for sunscreen ingredients and formulations rather than being individually reviewed by the agency.
