# Octinoxate

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/octinoxate

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Italy.

Octinoxate provides enhanced solar protection factor while accumulating gently in the outer skin layer without disrupting beneficial surface microorganisms. It suits dry skin and oily skin best, and it comes in sunscreens. It layers easily into your daily routine.
