Does it provide sun protection and how does that work?

Encapsulated sunscreen beads in the primer release on contact with skin to deliver broad-spectrum protection without a heavy sunscreen texture. This approach offers cosmetic benefits while contributing to daily UV defense when used as part of a skin routine.

• SPF 35 broad-spectrum protection in a cosmetic base.
• Encapsulated beads activate on application for even dispersion.
• Light, non-greasy feel suitable for layering under makeup.
