Indications

This cream is indicated for protection from harmful $\text{UV}$ rays and the management of various sun-related skin conditions, including:

• Photodermatoses (skin sensitivity to light) 

• Skin pigmentation 

• Solar urticaria (sun allergy) 

• Acute solar dermatitis

Pharmacology and Composition

This cream is a highly protective sunscreen combining four key ingredients. It provides strong protection against both UVA and UVB radiation.

• Sun Protection Factor ($\text{SPF}$ ): 60

• Protection Grade of UVA ($\text{PA}$ ): +++

Mechanism of Action

The cream utilizes a dual-action approach:

1. Reflection/Scattering (Physical Blocker):Zinc Oxide acts as a physical screen, reflecting and scattering $\text{UV}$radiation away from the skin. 

2. Absorption (Chemical Filters):Avobenzone, Octinoxate, and Enzacamene absorb $\text{UV}$radiation and convert it to heat, which is then released from the skin. 

Its strong stay-on properties ensure long-lasting sun protection. 

Dosage & Administration

• When to Apply: Apply to the exposed areas of the body (face, neck, body) at least 30 minutes before sun exposure and whenever necessary. 

• How to Apply: Take an adequate amount of cream, apply it as a thin layer, and gently massage onto the skin until absorbed.

  • Every two hours after continuous exposure to the sun.
