Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-02

What is this product?

athé Vegan Relief Sun Cushion is a 24 g SPF50+ PA++++ mineral sun cushion pitched on a minus 5 degree cooling effect, a water-rich base and a large format. Its 42 entry list opens with water, then zinc oxide (2nd) and titanium dioxide (5th) as the only UV filter names, in a light silicone and ester base with niacinamide (8th) and adenosine (22nd). It has no fragrance entry, no named essential oil and no exfoliating acid. The brand's own test prints a 5.46 degree drop on the treated site, but under a barrier-and-soothing study title with no product named, and the sensitive-skin claim has no printed test.

What makes it different?

A large mineral-only sun cushion whose list opens with water, with a printed skin-temperature test as its headline evidence. The trade offs are two mineral powders high in the list, a test whose title and untreated-side gap do not match the minus 5 degree headline, and a page that prints no usage directions or statutory notice.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 3 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Worth a closer look

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