WHAT ARE THE MAIN INGREDIENTS THAT A GOOD SUNSCREEN SHOULD HAVE?

A good sunscreen should have as the main ingredient: Titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or avobenzone (Also called Parsol 1789 or butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane) for it to be an effective sunscreen.

The FDA has recently approved a new sunscreen that's supposed to block BOTH UVA and UVB. This new sunscreen (previously NOT available in the United States) contains Mexoryl SX, an ingredient that provides more UVA protection.
