ISA KNOX UV Sun Pro 365 Extreme Sun Fluid

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-30

What is this product?

A 100 mL Korean sun fluid, SPF50+ PA++++, with a thin transparent finish and a hybrid filter set: four organic filter entries (ethylhexyl salicylate, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine) plus zinc oxide, in a 34-entry list that opens with water and isododecane. A fragrance entry is present and six allergen-named entries follow it. The brand badges whitening, wrinkle-care and UV-protection functions, but the statutory notice on a group mall set page lists a not-applicable value for the functional review. No exfoliating acid is listed and no entry carries an acid suffix.

What makes it different?

A fragrance-bearing hybrid sun fluid whose brand-page function badges (whitening, wrinkle care) are not confirmed by the notice table on the group mall set page, so the printed ingredient list and the SPF and PA label are the dependable parts. The waterproof wording rests on a footnoted 10-adult sweat protocol with no printed result.

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 2 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Worth a closer look

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