: Judged to be a product that helps improve and soothe skin irritation caused by ultraviolet (damage) and helps improve and soothe skin irritation caused by external stimuli (chemical damage).
backed by evidenceTransparent cooling soothing sun stick without white cast
plausible, not tested: 10 substances of concern (methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, isopropylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, benzophenone, phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin, acrylamide) not detected.
plausible, not tested: Judged to help with temporary skin temperature reduction (cooling effect), skin moisture retention in high-temperature environments caused by heat (infrared rays), and cleansing effect via first cleansing (soap), etc.
partly backedMeet a sun stick that shows its transparent interior like a clear, bouncy aloe. The sun stick from Kim Jung-moon Aloe won't make your face white and pasty, nor will it easily break with a 'tok' sound. It coats the face with a smooth film to protect the skin from the sun's rays, and it is a special product that provides a cooling sensation immediately upon application. Use the thin tip of the stick, shaped like an aloe leaf, to meticulously apply it to curved areas such as the sides of the nose and between the eyebrows. It is easily removed with just the first cleanse, so it's great for daily use without any burden.
