Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-30
What is this product?
d'Alba Waterfull Tone-Up Sun Cushion is a 15 g SPF 50+ PA++++ pink tone-up sun cushion from a Korean brand, marked on its statutory notice as a three-function cosmetic (whitening, wrinkle care, UV protection). Its printed list has 86 names, led by water and titanium dioxide, with silicone and ester film formers, ethanol, three organic filter names, niacinamide, adenosine, iron oxide tints and a plant extract and hyaluronate block. No fragrance entry is printed, but three citrus and litsea oils are listed. The brand's sweat-proof bar chart does not match its own printed value.
What makes it different?
A pink tone-up cushion that pairs titanium dioxide with three organic filter names and iron oxide tints in a water and silicone base, with ethanol and three citrus and litsea oils in the list. SPF and PFA values are printed with methods, while the sweat-proof chart and an any-skin claim rest on weak or mismatched evidence.
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.
