The Medi Dr. Day&Blue UV Sun Mist

What is this product?

A 50ml pump sun mist from The Medi Dr., built to be sprayed over a face that is already finished. Its label prints 36 entries with no disclosed concentration on any of them: water at 1, then seven organic UV filters at 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12, a film-forming set at 9, 10 and 11, cellulose thickeners at 14 and 16, and thirteen botanical entries between 21 and 36, including three aromatic plant oils, with three preservation materials threaded through them. There is no titanium dioxide, no zinc oxide, no ethanol and no fragrance entry. The statutory row registers one function, sun protection, and names its route as report under review exemption, with no filing number. The evidence problem is the grade: no SPF or PA string appears in the text of any archived page, the banner that printed one legibly carries a C2PA manifest identifying it as an Adobe Firefly composite titled Generated image, and the clean control image prints a grade row that does not resolve to characters at 24x. No SPF or PA value is carried in facts as a result. The brand publishes no application quantity and no reapplication interval for this product. A 6.5ml trial size sold under its own product code is a different formulation rather than a smaller pour.

What makes it different?

Two things set this record apart, and one of them is about the product while the other is about the evidence. On the product: a sun mist whose panel carries seven organic filters and no mineral filter at all, with no ethanol and no added fragrance, then thirteen botanical entries including three aromatic oils. On the evidence: this is the record where a brand's own detail banner was found to be a generative composite carrying label-looking SPF and PA text, which was removed from the evidence rather than transcribed, and the grade was left unstated in facts as a result. The trial-size sibling is the other thing worth carrying: same product name, different formulation, which is a reason not to read a small SKU as a scaled-down large one.
