Parsol 1789 is what gives our sun block its anti-aging properties, and it is in all of Ocean Potion’s sun block products. It’s one of the things that makes O.P. different from conventional sun blocks – giving our products the broad spectrum sun protection you need.

It is a critical sunscreen ingredient that protects against photodamage and premature aging of the skin from exposure to UVA light. The FDA approved Parsol 1789 (avobenzone) in April 1997 for use in over the counter sun care products in the United States. Parsol 1789 has been widely used in European, Canadian, and Australian sun and skin care products since the early 1980s. Subsequently, some American pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies have introduced products containing Parsol 1789 to provide broad spectrum UVB/UVA protection against skin damage and premature aging of the skin.
