About this sunscreen
it Cosmetics CC+ Cream Full Coverage Foundation with SPF 50+ is a mineral sunscreen-foundation using titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It commonly wears with a balanced finish and a low white-cast risk, helped by the pigmented coverage, and it is generally low in pore-clogging concern. It feels lightweight for a full-coverage product and works well as a makeup base, since it is itself a foundation. With a score above 82 and good protection, it is a strong choice for coverage and daily sun defense in one step.

Is the it Cosmetics CC+ Cream mineral or chemical?
It is mineral. This foundation with SPF 50+ uses titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as its UV filters.
Does the it Cosmetics CC+ Cream Full Coverage Foundation With SPF 50+ work as a makeup base or under foundation?
It is itself a full-coverage foundation, so it replaces a separate base and is rated good for makeup wear.
Does it leave a white cast?
No, it has a low white-cast risk because the pigmented coverage offsets the mineral filters across a range of shades.
