About this sunscreen
Aime Skincare Powder Foundation SPF is a mineral powder foundation using Titanium Dioxide for sun protection. As a powder it wears lightweight with a matte finish, keeps white cast low, and is generally non-stinging with low pore-clogging, working okay over base makeup. Powder formats commonly provide only weak, uneven sun protection, and with a score of 49.0/100 it is best treated as a touch-up over a dedicated sunscreen, not a standalone SPF.
