Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-21
What is this product?
A stick-type sunscreen built on chemical UV filters with a hydration layer of multiple hyaluronic acid derivatives and two peptides. Suitable for normal to dry skin wanting a glow finish, though acne-prone users should note the isopropyl palmitate in the top five.
What makes it different?
The formula combines three organic UV filters, homosalate, octocrylene, and 부틸메톡시디벤조일메탄, with an unusually long hydration tail: seven hyaluronic acid forms occupy the later half of the list alongside copper tripeptide-1 and acetyl hexapeptide-8. No fragrance ingredient and no drying alcohol appear in the 32-item list. The glow finish and zero cast character are not verifiable from the ingredient list alone.
