🩺 Clinical
This is an over-the-counter sunscreen cream containing zinc oxide, a mineral (physical) UV filter. Zinc oxide works by reflecting and scattering ultraviolet light away from the skin surface. Products in this category are commonly used to help protect skin from sun exposure when applied topically. This product is marketed under the FDA's monograph rules for sunscreen drugs, meaning it follows established safety and effectiveness standards for this ingredient category rather than undergoing individual application review.
