About this sunscreen
Naris Up Parasola Sweet Skin Face Pact UV SPF 50+ PA+++ is a pure mineral powder pact using titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection. It gives a balanced finish with very low white cast for a mineral product, does not tend to sting, and has low pore-clogging risk, though the pact format feels a touch heavier and works only passably as a makeup base. With good protection and a strong score, it is a handy mineral touch-up powder for reapplying sun protection over the day.
