sunblocks
Skin protection lotions
Sunblocks are topical products that protect skin from ultraviolet radiation.
The term is sometimes distinguished from sunscreens—sunblocks physically block rays with minerals like zinc oxide, while sunscreens absorb them chemically—but the words are often used interchangeably: Don't forget to pack sunblock for the beach.
