AHC Masters Air Rich Sun Stick

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-27

What is this product?

AHC Masters Air Rich Sun Stick is an SPF 50+ PA++++ water-free sun stick from the Korean brand AHC, sold on the brand's own store in 14 g plus 22 g and two by 10 g packs. Its 29 entry list is powders, polymers, esters and silicones with four organic UV filters, centella extract and its triterpenes, calamine and tocopherol. There is no fragrance entry, but bergamot oil and limonene, linalool and eugenol are listed. Printed human test summaries back the SPF and PA; the No.1 lines rest on brand sales share.

What makes it different?

A water-free stick that pairs four organic filters with a powder and polymer base aimed at a dry finish, adding centella triterpenes and calamine; no fragrance entry, but bergamot oil and three allergen names sit at the end.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
