Ma:nyo Foundation-Free Sun Cream

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-19

What is this product?

Ma:nyo Foundation-Free Sun Cream is a 50 ml tinted mineral sunscreen in a squeeze tube, sold in Korea and registered for three functions: UV protection, brightening and wrinkle care. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are its only UV filters, printed second and seventh of 34 items, with niacinamide at 10 and adenosine at 26 as the notified actives for the other two functions. Three iron oxides and mica give it a skin tint, which is why reported use centres on coverage, a natural look and tone up. No fragrance, essential oil or ethanol is printed. The printed SPF50+ and PA++++ figures come from an efficacy line read off an image. The claimed acacia peptide does not appear by name in the printed list.

What makes it different?

A tinted mineral sunscreen that doubles as a light base: its filters are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide only, its tint comes from three printed iron oxides, and it also carries brightening and wrinkle care registrations through niacinamide and adenosine. The moisturising peptide story on its label is the part the printed list does not back up.

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 1 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredient

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

We could not place these in the list above: 폴리글리세릴-2다이폴리하이드록시스테아레이트
