Medicine Description sunscreen 40 ML
SUNSCREEN 40 ML Cream is a medication that functions by forming a protective barrier on the skin, utilizing physical and/or chemical filters to absorb or reflect harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This cream primarily contains active ingredients that are designed to scatter or absorb UV rays, preventing them from penetrating the skin and causing damage. The physical filters, often composed of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, act by reflecting sunlight, while chemical filters absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat, which is then released from the skin. This dual action effectively reduces the risk of sunburn, photoaging, and skin cancer, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive skin.
