About this sunscreen
Pupa Milano Made To Last Total Comfort Foundation SPF 30 is a makeup product with built-in chemical and mineral filters, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Titanium Dioxide. It offers a matte finish, lightweight wear and low white cast, and is generally non-stinging. Protection is weak and the overall score is low, so it should be regarded as a foundation with light SPF rather than standalone sun protection.
