About this sunscreen
Kumano Cosme Hatomugi The UV Milky Gel SPF 50+ Pa++++ is a chemical sunscreen using Octinoxate, Avobenzone and Octocrylene. It commonly leaves low white cast with a balanced finish, is generally lightweight, and is reported to work well as a makeup base. However it tends to sting if it gets into the eyes, so care is advised. With a score of 64.3/100 and moderate protection, it is a light, makeup-friendly daily gel rather than a top-tier sun shield.
