How it works
This combination of organic UV filters provides broad-spectrum protection: benzophenone-3 and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane absorb UVA radiation, while octocrylene absorbs UVB and stabilizes other filters. Methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol is a photostable broadband UVA/UVB absorber.
Storage
Store at room temperature below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not freeze.
