About this sunscreen
Kumano Cosme Hatomugi The UV Milky Gel is a chemical SPF 50+ PA++++ sunscreen built on Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Avobenzone, and Octocrylene. The milky gel texture wears lightweight with a balanced finish and stays low on white cast, and it generally layers well as a makeup base. Note that this older-style filter set commonly stings if it gets into the eyes, so it suits face use over sweaty activity. With a score of 64.1/100 and moderate measured protection, it is a reasonable everyday option rather than a high-protection pick.

Does Kumano Cosme Hatomugi UV Milky Gel leave a white cast?
White cast is low. As a chemical SPF 50+ formula, it wears with a balanced finish and stays low on visible cast, so it generally disappears into the skin.
Is the Kumano Cosme Hatomugi The UV Milky Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It is a reasonable fit. The finish is balanced and lightweight, and the formula rates low for pore-clogging, so it commonly works for oily or breakout-prone skin. Note the older-style filters tend to sting if they reach the eyes.
Is this sunscreen mineral or chemical?
It is chemical. The UV filters are Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Avobenzone, and Octocrylene, with no zinc or titanium.
