illiyoon Daily Mineral Sun Stick SPF50+/PA++++

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-16

What is this product?

A mineral-only sun stick from illiyoon leading with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as its UV filters, positioned as a sensitive-skin, fragrance-free, vegan-certified daily sunscreen suitable from infancy up. The brand cites a small in-vivo test (10 adults, roughly one month) confirming SPF50+/PA++++, plus five completed safety tests and a stated zero irritation score, though the underlying test reports were not independently retrieved. A named hyaluronic powder and a proprietary Sebum Control Powder complex are claimed to leave a matte, non-tacky finish and reduce white cast, common friction points for mineral-filter sticks, but the ingredient list alone does not confirm which listed compound corresponds to that named complex. Packaged as a 20g stick for face and body reapplication, sold through the brand's own storefront and its parent company's retail platform.

What makes it different?

Pairs a pure mineral-filter formula (no organic/chemical UV filters detected in the disclosed list) with a brand-claimed sebum-control powder complex aimed at the matte, low-white-cast finish that mineral sticks often struggle with, backed by a brand-cited small in-vivo SPF/PA confirmation test.

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