🩺 Clinical
This is a topical cream containing zinc oxide, an inorganic mineral used as a sunscreen active ingredient in over-the-counter products. Zinc oxide works by reflecting and scattering ultraviolet light away from the skin. This product is formulated as a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 40, which is typically used to help protect skin from both UVA and UVB sun exposure. It is marketed as an OTC monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established standards for sunscreen products rather than being individually reviewed by the agency.
