Solotan SPF100 50g Sunblock Cream

The mechanism of action of SPF 100 Sunblock involves the use of active ingredients that absorb or reflect ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. These active ingredients typically include organic compounds such as avobenzone, octinoxate, or oxybenzone, which absorb UV rays, converting them into heat energy and preventing them from penetrating the skin. Inorganic physical blockers like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are also used, which reflect and scatter UV radiation away from the skin. SPF 100 Sunblock provides broad-spectrum protection, shielding against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are associated with skin aging and long-term damage, while UVB rays cause sunburns and contribute to skin cancer. The high SPF value of 100 indicates that it allows only 1/100th of the sun's UVB rays to reach the skin, providing substantial protection against sunburn and the harmful effects of UV radiation. The formulation is designed to create a protective barrier on the skin's surface, ensuring that the active ingredients remain effective and provide continuous sun protection.

In the case of an overdose of SPF 100 SunBlock, it is important to remain calm and take appropriate action. While this sunscreen is generally safe, excessive application can lead to skin irritation and discomfort. If you or someone else has applied an excessive amount, gently wash the affected area with mild soap and water to remove the product. Monitor for any signs of an allergic reaction, and if symptoms persist, seek advice from a healthcare professional.

In the case of a missed dose of SPF 100 Sunblock, it is important to reapply the sunscreen as soon as you remember. Reapply generously to all exposed skin, ensuring that you cover all areas evenly. If you typically apply sunscreen every two hours, maintain this frequency after a missed dose. It is crucial not to skip reapplication, especially if you are outdoors and exposed to the sun. Remember, missing a dose can increase the risk of sunburn and skin damage, so prompt reapplication is essential.

To apply SPF 100 SunBlock, dispense a generous amount onto your fingertips and gently massage it onto your skin, ensuring complete coverage of all exposed areas, at least 15 minutes before sun exposure.
