Did someone say double-duty? This powerful sunscreen + mattifying primer is designed to be both -- the last step of your skincare and the first step of your makeup! It features SPF 50 and PA++++ protection to defend your skin from UVA and UVB rays, blue light and pollution, while acting like a makeup-gripping primer, too. The lightweight, hydrating formula melts into your skin, leaving behind a matte finish, and no white cast.

Suitable for all skin types, and pregnancy-safe.

Key ingredients:

• Hyaluronic acid: Attracts and retains moisture in your skin for increased hydration and plumpness
• Licorice root extract: Brightens your skin and has an anti-inflammatory effect

• Tapioca starch: Absorbs excess sebum from your skin and provides softness
