Benton Cica Moisture Sun Cushion SPF50+/PA++++
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-20
What is this product?
A soothing, hydrating sun cushion with SPF50+/PA++++ built on newer organic UV filters plus titanium dioxide, with centella extract in the mid-list and soothing compounds such as ectoin and panthenol near the end. Fragrance and drying alcohol were screened and not found, which suits sensitive skin looking for a comfortable daily sunscreen.
What makes it different?
The UV filter system combines titanium dioxide with ethylhexyl triazone, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate and methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol, a modern mix aimed at broad protection with a lighter finish. Soothing support comes from centella extract plus madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid, alongside ectoin, panthenol, allantoin and beta-glucan. The list contains no added fragrance and no drying alcohol, and calamine is included, which may suit reactive skin. Concentrations are not disclosed, so the depth of the soothing benefit cannot be judged.
