Ethylhexyl salicylate + titanium dioxide is a combination medicine that is composed of ethylhexyl salicylate, a common ingredient in sunscreen and cosmetics and titanium dioxide, a substance that is also a part of sunscreens.
Ethylhexyl salicylate is formed from salicylic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. This substance has the ability to absorb ultraviolet light to protect the skin from too much sunlight. The ethylhexanol, on the other hand, has emollient effects to the skin.
Titanium dioxide acts as an ultraviolet filter that protects the skin by blocking the sun’s harmful rays.
