BUSHMAN Waterproof Surfing Sun Stick

What is this product?

A sports sunscreen stick for surfing and open water, not a daily face product. Methyl methacrylate crosspolymer and polyethylene sit at positions 1 and 2 and water does not appear until position 23 of 28, which is the structure a water resistant film needs, and four organic filters cover UVB through long UVA with no mineral and no white cast. The soothing side is more serious than the format usually gets: Centella extract plus its three isolated triterpenes, with calamine at position 22. Two things to weigh before buying. Fragrance is declared at the end of the list with no allergen breakdown, and the 지속내수성 water resistance claim, which is a defined regulatory grade in Korea, reaches this record through a retailer's page with no institution, protocol or date attached to it.

What makes it different?

Built for immersion rather than for a face routine: a polyethylene and wax film with the water phase pushed to the end of the list, paired with a full Centella triterpene group.

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: Isopropyl Palmitate, Polyethylene, Ozokerite
