Waterproof sunscreen is a type of sunscreen that is designed to hold up even when it comes into contact with water.

Waterproof sunscreen works by creating a barrier on the skin that helps to block the UV rays from the sun. The waterproof formula ensures the sunscreen stays effective even when exposed to water.

The main ingredients in waterproof sunscreen are usually 'active ingredients' that physically or chemically block UV rays, along with other ingredients that make the product water-resistant.
