About this sunscreen
JIGOTT Whitening UV Sun Block SPF 50+/PA+++ is a chemical and mineral blend that leans on older filters, including Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor, and titanium dioxide. It wears with a balanced finish and low white cast, though the texture is a touch heavier, and it is okay under makeup. It does not sting and is generally low for pore-clogging. Protection rates weak and the dated filter set caps the score at 49, so it is best viewed as a light daily layer rather than reliable sun protection.
