About this sunscreen
Smooto Tomato Collagen BB and CC Sunscreen Cream is a tinted SPF 50 cream with an older-generation filter set of Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Octocrylene. It has a matte finish, feels lightweight, is unlikely to leave a white cast and works excellently as a makeup base. It does not generally sting and has low pore-clogging risk. Its protection is rated weak, however, and the score of 49.0 reflects that, so it is better thought of as a tinted base than a primary sunscreen.
