About this sunscreen
Biore UV Bright Milk SPF 50+/PA+++ is a hybrid milk combining Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide with Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate. It finishes matte with low white cast, a lightweight feel and low pore-clogging risk, and works well as a makeup base. SPF 50+ provides good high protection. Despite the older-style chemical filter, the 77.4/100 score makes it a solid lightweight daily option, especially under makeup.
