Is the SPF in your foundation actually protecting your skin, or is it just a label claim? Join me, going beyond the front of the bottle and looking at the ingredient list, the INCI list, to see how much sun protection your foundation, skin tint, BB cream, or tinted moisturizer may actually contain. Because here’s the problem: a product can say SPF 30 on the front, but the UV filters may be buried low in the ingredient list, present at very small concentrations, or not broad-spectrum enough to give the protection you think you’re getting. In this video, I’ll show you: How to read an INCI list Which UV filter names to look for The difference between mineral and chemical filters Why ingredient position matters What “token SPF” means Why PA++++ tells you more about UVA protection And my simple 4-step SPF foundation check This is Episode 2 of my mini-series: The Truth About SPF in Makeup. In Episode 1, we talked about why the SPF number on makeup rarely matches the protection you actually get in real life. Today, we go one level deeper and look at what’s actually inside the product.
