GRAFEN Sun Pocket Oil Cut Sun Stick

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-21

What is this product?

A wax-based sun stick built on five organic UV filters plus titanium dioxide, with oil-absorbing powders and soothing extracts such as centella, so it suits oily to combination skin that wants mid-day UV top-ups, though fragrance-allergen-sensitive users should note the perfume content.

What makes it different?

The UV filter blend sits at the very top of the list, combining older filters with the photostable Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate at position 15. Six plant powders, including centella, coix seed and rice, occupy the mid-list, unusual for a stick format. The brand transparently states the product is not waterproof and recommends frequent reapplication.

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 11 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked the one line this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them looks likely, though none are proven outright.
