About this sunscreen
Pyunkang Yul ATO Mild Sun Cream is a pure mineral sunscreen filtered with Titanium Dioxide, formulated with a gentle, low-sting approach for sensitive skin. It is lightweight with a balanced finish but shows a moderate white cast, which is common for mineral-only creams. Breakout-trigger is low. The score of 49.0 out of 100 reflects weak measured protection from the single filter, so it is better suited to low-exposure days than to peak sun.
