What is this product?

Reach for this when you will be sweating or swimming and want a large tube you can use freely: 100ml, four organic filters at positions 4 through 8, a film system built on acrylates and VP/Eicosene Copolymer, and a Korean statutory disclosure block registering it for UV protection, whitening and wrinkle improvement at once. Skip it if fragrance is your trigger, because 향료 sits at position 23 with no allergen breakdown anywhere. Two things to weigh. The ten-hour all-day waterproof line is the grocer's merchandising copy, not a tested figure, and no Korean water-resistance grade (내수성 or 지속내수성) appears on any surface held. The English ingredient list on an overseas reseller page disagrees with the Korean statutory one, including a fifth UV filter, so only the Korean list is used here.

What makes it different?

A 100ml water-resistant sunscreen whose Korean statutory disclosure block registers three functional categories at once (UV protection, whitening, wrinkle improvement) with the corresponding actives verifiable in the list, sitting on the same page as an untested ten-hour durability line written by the retailer rather than the brand.

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 6 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.

We could not place these in the list above: 코코-카프릴레이트/카프레이트, 폴리글리세릴-3메틸글루코오스다이스테아레이트, 카프릴릭/카프릭트라이글리세라이드

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
