Patent Pending In sunscreen, ingredients that absorb UVA/UVB rays, such as avobenzone, oxybenzone[57] and octyl methoxycinnamate, are known as absorbers or chemical "blockers". They are contrasted with physical "blockers" of UV radiation such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. (See sunscreen for a more complete list.)
