Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-21
What is this product?
A lightweight sun spray built on multiple modern UV filters with calming calamine, centella and bamboo leaf extracts in the later half of the list, though it does contain fragrance and ethanol.
What makes it different?
The formula pairs several photostable UV filters, including bis-ethyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine at position 7 and terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid at position 12, with soothing ingredients placed mid-to-late in the list: calamine at 23, centella extract at 27 and bamboo leaf extract at 28. A xylitol-based humectant trio appears around positions 20 to 22, suggesting a hydration angle unusual for a spray format. Sensitive users should note fragrance at 15 and ethanol at 9.

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