About this sunscreen
DDC Dr Demis x Cinnamongal Non Silicone Foundation Powder SPF 30 PA+++ is a setting powder with light sun protection from a single older filter, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate. It gives a matte, lightweight finish with no white cast and pairs okay with makeup. As a powder it is hard to apply at the amount needed for full SPF, so protection is weak in practice. The score reflects that it is best seen as a finishing powder rather than primary sun protection.

Is this DDC foundation powder enough sun protection?
Protection is weak in practice. As a setting powder it is hard to apply at the amount needed for full SPF, so use a separate sunscreen underneath for real cover.
Does the DDC Dr Demis x Cinnamongal Non Silicone Foundation Powder Spf 30 Pa+++ leave a white cast?
No, white cast is low. The powder gives a matte, lightweight finish without a white tone and pairs okay with makeup.
Is the DDC Dr Demis x Cinnamongal Non Silicone Foundation Powder Spf 30 Pa+++ mineral or chemical?
It is chemical. The only listed UV filter is ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, an older-generation chemical filter.
