About this sunscreen
Oriflame Giordani Gold CC Cream SPF 35 is a hybrid tinted formula combining Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, titanium dioxide and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. It has a matte finish, a low white cast and a lightweight feel, does not sting and works well under or as makeup. As a CC cream, its sun protection is generally a daily supplement rather than a full beach-grade shield. With good protection and a mid-range overall rating, it is a handy multitasking day product.
