About this sunscreen
KIKO Milano Dolce Diva Powder Foundation SPF 50 is a pure mineral powder foundation using zinc oxide. It finishes matte with low white cast and wears a bit heavier than a typical powder, with low sting and low pore-clogging risk. Scoring 67.8 with moderate protection, it is a convenient touch-up and setting product, but a powder is generally best as a complement to a dedicated base sunscreen rather than the main layer.
