About this sunscreen
Goongbe Mild Sun Cream is a mineral sunscreen using titanium dioxide as its sole UV filter, positioned as a gentle formula. It commonly wears with a balanced finish and a medium white-cast risk typical of mineral creams, and it is generally low in pore-clogging concern. It is comfortable for sensitive skin, but works poorly as a makeup base. With a score of 49 and weak protection, it is a mild option best reserved for low sun exposure.
