🩺 Clinical
This is a liquid foundation makeup product applied to the skin. It contains three mineral active ingredients that function as sunscreen UV filters: octinoxate, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. These ingredients are commonly used in cosmetic and over-the-counter skin care products to help absorb and reflect ultraviolet light. This product is marketed as an OTC monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established safety and effectiveness guidelines for this category rather than being individually approved.
