About this sunscreen
Black Rice Cover BB Cream SPF 36 PA++ is a tinted BB cream using an older-generation filter pair of octinoxate and titanium dioxide. It wears light and matte with low white cast and a low pore-clogging profile, working okay as a makeup base. It scores 49 out of 100, the lowest in this group: protection rates as weak, so treat it as cosmetic coverage with light sun support rather than reliable standalone protection, and layer a proper sunscreen underneath for real sun exposure.
