Introduction About EKRAN AQUA SPF 30+ GEL

Ekran Aqua Gel SPF 30+ is a broad-spectrum sunscreen gel used for the protection of skin from photodamage, photoaging, sunburn, dryness, and UV rays. It contains Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate, Avobenzone, Oxybenzone, and Titanium dioxide as active ingredients that act as UVA and UVB filters.

Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate is a sun-blocking agent that absorbs UVB rays. Avobenzone diminishes the penetration of UV light through the epidermis by absorbing UV radiation within a specific wavelength range.

Oxybenzone absorbs UV-A rays, thus managing them from reaching the skin. Titanium dioxide is a physical sunscreen protector against UVB and short UVA rays. Allantoin and aloe vera extract help moisturize the skin.

Always apply Ekran Aqua Gel SPF 30+ exactly as advised by your physician. Avoid contact with eyes. Ask your doctor before using it in pregnant women, breastfeeding women, or children.
