Obagi Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is formulated with key ingredients like homosalate, octisalate & zinc oxide. Homosalate is an organic compound that belongs to a class of chemicals called salicylates. Salicylates prevent direct skin exposure to the sun’s harmful rays by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) light. Homosalate specifically absorbs short-wave UVB rays, which are associated with DNA damage and increased risk of skin cancer. Octisalate is a commonly used ingredient in sunscreens and skincare and cosmetic products that have SPF included in their formulation. Octisalate helps to filter out UVB rays from the sun, when used in conjunction with other sunscreen ingredients that cover the UVA rays. It is also used to improve the water-resistance of the sunscreen formulation. This allows the sunscreen to last a little longer when at the beach, swimming or sweating. Zinc oxide, one of the safest ingredients, which can give your skin the protection it needs from harmful UV rays. It helps protect cells from being damaged, halts the ageing process, and prevents skin dryness by filtering out the harmful UV rays. Obagi sunshield collections includes the first line of defense against the harmful effects of sun exposure across a range of skin types and needs. Obagi Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is ideal to provide daily protection from the sun to maintain a healthy, young looking skin.
