I's sorry I don't know this information. I would suggest the customer visit the Elta MD website.

Amazon sent me an email asking if I could answer this question because I reviewed the product. The ingredients are listed on the second picture -- you can see them if you scroll over it with the mouse to zoom. I would consider retinol to be the main active ingredient, although there are other ingredients such as green tea extract, camelia flower extract and jojoba oil, just to name a few.

Previous (Lucy's) answer is correct - only two active ingredients are Titanium Dioxide(8%) which is a sunscreen, and Zinc Oxide (3.8%) which is also a sunscreen. In case you're interested in the other ingredients, they include: Alumina, Cyclohexasiloxane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethiconol, Iron Oxide (CI 77491), Lauryl PEG/PPG 18/18 Methicone, Methicone, PEG-10 Dimethicone.What it Doesn't contain are: GMOS, Parabens, Sulfate, Synthetic Fragrances, Synthetic Dyes, Animal-Derived Ingredients and/or By-Products, Mineral Oil, Synthetic Preservatives.Hope this helps you make a decision.

They are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. What I like about this sunscreen is that it doesn't have anything else, those are good for allergies.

I looked at the label and it lists titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. I see no chemical sunscreen ingredient on the label. I'm very sensitive to the chemical sunblocks and the Eclipse formulation causes me no problems. I am on my second tube.

Zinc Oxide 14.5%Titanium Dioxide 2.0%Hope this helps. My son uses it, and hasn't had any problems. He is not able to wear any other sunscreen because the ingredients will cause a rash.

Doesn't claim to block UV rays. I don't think that it has UV rays. It is a short blue light wavelength and is used for seasonal affective disorder or (SAD). People who get depressed or have less energy during the winter months when there is less sunlight often use these to decrease the SAD symptoms. I use it in the winter months and like it a lot.

Active ingredients are Zinc Oxide 10.0% and Titanium Dioxide 7.5%. I really liked the BurnOut Kids SPF 30 but after reading reviews that they changed the formula I was afraid to purchase it again.

the active sunscreen ingredients are: avobenzone 3%; homosalate 15%; octisalate 5%; octocrylene 5%; and oxybenzone 6%. The directions also say to reapply after swimming or every 2 hours when out in the sun.

It does prevent oxidation. I have no idea about UV protection though. I used it on an application that is exposed to water every day, but is indoors.

Hi! This is indeed a physical sunscreen. The active ingredients are Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. It does not contain Octinoxate.

Truly sorry if we missed this question, (we don't always get a notification by Amazon and we have 33 products in our catalog here) but animosity has answered it quite well. Our product is a little bit over 20% Zinc Oxide concentration wise, which puts it in the 30+ UVA/UVB SPF range. The other ingredients are either for spread-ability, skin soothing and moisturizing.. and again (as our wise customer below has stated) as synergystic elements to boost UV protection (minerals and carrotseed oil for example).

Active ingredient 3(N-butyl-N-acetyl)-aminopropionic acid ethyl ester(IR3535) 19.6percent. Active ingredients for the sunscreen 28.5 percent. Other ingredients make up the remaining percent. Picaridin isn't listed on this product. If you're looking for the Avon product with picaridin, that would be the silver colored line of products. Hope this helps.
