Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-21
What is this product?
A high-protection mineral-hybrid sun cushion whose formula leads with centella and houttuynia cordata extracts, making it a reasonable pick for soothing care alongside SPF50+/PA++++. Note that ethanol sits early in the list, which may matter for very alcohol-sensitive skin.
What makes it different?
The first two ingredients are Centella Asiatica Extract and Houttuynia Cordata Extract, a soothing-first opening unusual for a sun cushion. Niacinamide sits at position 10, while panthenol, ceramide NP, adenosine and multiple hyaluronic acid forms appear in the mid-to-late half of the list. The formula uses four UV filters including titanium dioxide and ethylhexyl triazone for broad-spectrum SPF50+/PA++++ coverage. No fragrance ingredient was found in the 88-item list, though lavender flower water and several herb extracts are present.

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