COSNORI COSNORI AIRY SUN SERUM

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-25

What is this product?

COSNORI Airy Sun Serum is a 50 ml SPF50+ PA++++ sun serum with a hybrid filter set: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide plus three organic filters. It is filed as a triple functional cosmetic for UV protection, whitening and wrinkle care, with niacinamide 13th and adenosine near the end of a 49 entry list. The brand's human test reports SPF 109.5 and a UVA result labelled PA++++ in 10 people, and a patch test on 32 women scored 0.00. Silica and other powder entries back its matte, makeup-prep positioning, though the makeup-hold photos are not measured. There is no fragrance entry, but bergamot oil with limonene, linalool and citral is present. Suited to oily and combination skin wanting a light base under makeup; people sensitive to fragrance allergens should take care.

What makes it different?

A sun serum rather than a cream, pairing a zinc oxide led hybrid filter set with powder type entries for a matte base under makeup, filed for whitening and wrinkle care as well as UV protection, with a named human SPF and UVA test.
