Mexoryl 400 is a next-generation sun filter developed to protect against ultra-long UVA rays, considered among the most harmful to the skin. Developed by L'Oréal to target this previously unprotected part of the solar spectrum, Mexoryl 400 is a patented chemical sunscreen that can be found primarily, but not exclusively, in La Roche-Posay sunscreens. You will find it in the ingredient list by its scientific name, "Methoxypropylamino cyclohexenylidene ethoxyethylcyanoacetate", or MCE.
