About this sunscreen
Hatomugi The UV & Moisturizing Milky Gel is an SPF 50+ PA++++ chemical sunscreen built on a simple older filter pair of avobenzone and octocrylene. The milky gel wears light with a balanced finish, a low white-cast risk and a makeup-friendly, low breakout-trigger profile, though a moderate sweat-sting suggests care near the eyes. It scores 67/100, where the dated filter set and only moderate protection hold back an otherwise pleasant formula.
