Introduction About EKRAN SPF 30 PA++++ SILICON SUNSCREEN GEL(TOPICAL)

Ekran SPF 30 Pa++++ Silicon Sunscreen Gel offers a broad-spectrum ultra protection against UVA and UVB radiation. It contains ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, diethylamino hydroxy benzoyl hexyl benzoate, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, hydrogenated polyisorbutene, ethylhexyl triazone, avobenzone, zinc oxide, cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer as active ingredients to protect the skin from photodamage, sunburn, dry skin and against harmful UV rays.

Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate gives protection against UVB radiation by absorbing UVB radiation. Diethyl amino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate act by absorbing UVA radiation. Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine minimizes the overexposure of skin to ultraviolet radiation (UV-A rays). Ethylhexyl triazone provides protection against UV radiation. Avobenzone blocks UVA I, UVA II and UVB wavelengths, thereby limiting the impact of UV rays on the skin. Also, diminish the penetration of UV light through the epidermis by absorbing UV radiation within a specific wavelength range.

Zinc oxide is an excellent sunscreen because it has a broad spectrum of UV protection and is not absorbed into the blood. It sits on the top of the skin and effectively provides a layer of armor against damaging UV rays. Cyclopentasiloxane works as an emollient, lubricant and solvent and gives a very silky texture to the skin. Dimethicone acts by conditioning the skin and helps in improving the skin’s softness and flexibility.

Always apply Ekran SPF 30 Pa++++ Silicon Sunscreen Gel as advised by your physician. It is for external use only. Squeeze enough gel and apply evenly on the face, neck and exposed area of the skin, 15-30 minutes prior to sun exposure. Avoid contact with the eyes and their surrounding area. Re-apply after every 3-4 hours or as directed. Do not use Ekran SPF 30 Pa++++ Silicon Sunscreen Gel if you are allergic to any of its components.
