Executive Summary
AVON AGE BLOCK AVOBENZONE MOISTURIZER "GUARDS FACIAL SKIN YEAR-ROUND" for the "maximum, most effective protection avail-able" against full-spectrum UVA and UVB rays, Avon said. Designed for daily use, the SPF 15 avobenzone cream blocks UVB radiation and the more harmful UVA-I and UVA-II rays, which have been shown to be the probable cause of "deep dermal damage," sun-induced wrinkling, age spots and dilated capillaries, the direct marketer said. UVA rays can affect the skin year-round, and "low levels" are even emitted from fluorescent lights and computer screens, according to Avon. Roche supplied Avon with its branded avobenzone ingredient, Parsol 1789.
