Pharmacology
This cream combines 4 ingredients, zinc oxide, octinoxate, enzacamene and avobenzone, and gives highly protective sunscreen action. Thus, it protects against the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays, which can cause skin cancer, wrinkles, premature aging and darkening of skin. Its Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is 60 and its Protection Grade of UVA (PA) is +++, which makes it perfect for both UVA and UVB protection. Zinc oxide acts as a screen, reflecting and scattering UV radiation to protect the skin. Avobenzone, octinoxate and enzacamene absorb UV radiation and convert it to heat, and that heat is then released from the skin. The cream also has strong stay-on properties, so it works as a long lasting sunscreen.
