About this sunscreen
Beauty People Absolute Radiant Girl Cushion Foundation is an SPF 50+ PA+++ cushion with a hybrid filter mix, including Titanium Dioxide, Octocrylene and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. It has a matte finish, is lightweight, leaves little to no white cast, and does not sting. It is low on pore-clogging risk and okay under makeup. With good protection and a score of 60.1/100, it is best treated as makeup with added SPF rather than standalone sun protection.
