      Suncream usually contain one or more of the following ingredients:

      – Organic chemical compounds, that is, chemical contain lots of carbon and hydrogen, that absorb ultraviolet (UV) light…Just to name a few to scare/impress you, cinoxate, octocrylene, oxybenzone, dioxybenzone 😛
      – Particles that reflect, scatter and absorb UV light such as titanium dioxide (TiO2)
      – Perfume, to give you nice smells
