Protective skin cream (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sunblock

(Other definitions for sunblock that I've seen before include "Skin cream to filter out ultraviolet light" , "that's to save one's skin" , "protects one from exposure" , "Cream applied on a scorching day" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
