About this sunscreen
Jula's herb DD Cream Watermelon SPF 50 PA+++ is a tinted DD cream that relies on a single older filter, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, which limits its UV coverage. It sets to a matte finish, stays lightweight, leaves little to no white cast, and works well as a makeup base. It does not sting and is generally low risk for breakouts. Protection is rated weak and the overall score is 49, so it is best treated as a light cosmetic step rather than primary sun protection.
