Which of the following are used in sun screen lotion?
- A$\text{TiO}_2$ and SnO
- B$\text{TiO}_2$ and MnO
- Correct answerC$\text{TiO}_2$ and ZnO
- D$\text{TiO}_2$ and NiO
Solution
Titanium dioxide ($\text{TiO}_2$) and Zinc oxide ($\text{ZnO}$) are widely used as active ingredients in sunscreen lotions.
They act as physical UV filters that reflect, scatter, and absorb both UVA and UVB radiation, thereby protecting the skin from sun damage.
Answer: $\text{TiO}_2$ and ZnO
