SHADE UVAGUARD is a topical sunscreen lotion combining three UV filters: avobenzone (UVA protection), octinoxate (UVB protection), and oxybenzone (broad-spectrum protection). It is indicated for protection against ultraviolet radiation and the resulting sun damage. The product works through light absorption and dissipation mechanisms inherent to organic UV filter chemistry.
