is there any connection w/ the level of SPF (in this case high, 42 SPF) and the possibility of sensitivity?

should I be cautious using a high SPF (Shiseido's Sun Protection Liquid Foundation SPF 42 PA+++) foundation on a daily basis wether i'm in the sun or not?

I work in an office setting, but sometimes like to sit outside or walk at lunch (30 min).

I'm wondering if a foundation w/ that level of SPF & water-proofness is going to be a problem for daily wear (I think the sporty beach bottle frightens me!) or should it just be limited to days w/ a lot of sun exposure. the label says that it won't clog pores..but...

I'm DSNT. thank you!

I would think that the more active sunscreen ingredients a product has, the more likely you would get irritation.

Well doesn't it depend on what they use for SPF? 
If they use oxybenzone, avobenzone or other chemicals for sunblocking then the irritation would propably be worse if the SPF is higher, but if they use titanium dioxide or iron oxide or other physical blockers than it shouldn't be more irritating as the SPF goes up.  Octinoxate irritates my skin like crazy and that's what most companies use for waterproofing the sunscreen (and other products).
Hope this helps!
