Foundations and self-tanning products: Do they provide any protection from the sun
Journal of Dermatology, 10/30/09

Coiffard LJM et al. – The authors tested seven amino acids found in the corneal cells of the epidermis. Regardless of the amino acid used, the corresponding SPF was essentially zero (approximately SPF 2).
