UV Filter Ingredients or Chemicals 

Description of UV Filter: UV Filters are ingredients or chemicals that are used to block or absorb UV light. As it is known that sunlight can severely harm the skin, the main application of UV Filters can be found in sunscreen, to protect the skin from UV-related damage. Different kinds of UV light can be filtered by UV filters: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. This depends on the wavelength of the UV light. In addition to being present in sunscreen, UV filters can also be found in other personal care products, such as shampoo, body wash, lipstick and insect repellent.
