Chemical Sunscreens

-Work mainly by absorbing and neutralizing the ultraviolet rays
-Absorbing sunscreens are more likely to irritate the skin and they produce heat while absorbing rays.
-The advantage is that they cant be seen on the skin
-The main ingredient used in chemical sunscreens is octylmethoxycinnamate also known as ethyl hexyl p-methoxycinnamate
