CURE Water Splash Cooling Sun Stick

What is this product?

A 23 g cooling sun stick from the Korean brand CURE, SPF 50+ and PA++++, sold on its parent company's own storefront. The statutory list of 40 entries, transcribed from the brand's detail image, starts with water and five organic UV filters, with aloe leaf juice at 19 and a salicylic acid entry at 20. No fragrance entry and no zinc or titanium oxide is printed; citrus peel oil and three allergen entries are. A temperature test on 22 adults reproduces its headline within rounding; the moisture headline reproduces from the final frame of its chart, but a second image prints a different figure for it. No lived use reports were collected.

What makes it different?

A wax based cooling stick with a five filter organic UV system and a printed temperature test on 22 adults. Its trade-offs on the label: a salicylic acid entry at 20 with no stated role, citrus peel oil with three printed allergens, and a moisture headline printed in two versions, of which only one reproduces from its chart. A same brand listing of the same line prints a 37 entry list that starts with aloe juice, so the two lists differ in order and in seven entries.

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