Benzophenone and avobenzone (aka Parsol 1789) also may irritate skin.
To do that, look for one of the only three ingredients that protect against UVA rays: Parsol 1789, also called avobenzone, zinc oxide, or titanium dioxide.
Then check the ingredient list to see whether it contains UVA-blockers like avobenzone (also known as Parsol 1789), octylcrylene, benzophenone, zinc oxide (the white paste that lifeguards paint on their noses), or micronized titanium dioxide or clear zinc oxide (which don't leave a greasy white mess).
