Photoban-30 Aquagel is a dermatological (for skin use) product indicated for broad-spectrum sun protection. It is composed of Octinoxate, Avobenzone, Oxybenzone, Octocrylene, and Zinc oxide. This gel has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 50 and protects the skin from UV-B and deep penetrating UV-A rays. It prevents tanning, sunburn, and premature ageing of the skin.

• It is a non-greasy formula that can be used by all skin types. It is also suitable for sensitive skin.
• Octinoxate, also known as Octyl methoxycinnamate or OMC, works as a UV filter and protects the skin from harmful UV-B rays.
• Avobenzone lightens the freckles, hyperpigmentation (darkened skin), age spots, and melasma. It reduces the formation of dark spots due to the sun's rays.
• Oxybenzone reduces the risk of skin cancer by slowing the absorption of harmful UV-A and UV-B rays by the skin.
• Octocrylene shields the skin from harmful effects of the sun rays and prevents premature skin ageing.

Apply a sufficient amount of gel with clean and dry hands on the face, neck, and other exposed areas of the skin. Spread it evenly and gently massage it into the skin.
