What is this product?

Pick this when you want sun protection and a bit of visible evening-out in one step: titanium dioxide sits fourth and three iron oxides close the list, which is a proper tinting system rather than a bare mineral load, with birch sap disclosed at 1,000 ppm and a hydration block behind it. Two things to know before buying. It is a hybrid, not the organic-filter product the price-comparison listing calls it, since titanium dioxide is right there at position 4; and two essential oils, chamomile flower and Scots pine leaf, sit at positions 20 and 21, which undercuts the low-irritation tag attached to it. The brand publishes no text at all on its own product page, so every claim here comes from a reseller and the ingredient list is retailer-derived. No water resistance is declared.

What makes it different?

A tinted tone-up sunscreen whose only text surface is a reseller's specification row, which misclassifies its own filter system: the list carries titanium dioxide at position 4 alongside four organic filters, making it a hybrid rather than the organic-filter product the listing advertises.

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 3 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

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: 캐모마일꽃오일, 구주소나무잎오일, 아이소노닐아이소노나노에이트, 폴리글리세릴-3메틸글루코오스다이스테아레이트, 폴리글리세릴-4아이소스테아레이트, 폴리글리세릴-2다이폴리하이드록시스테아레이트, 솔비탄아이소스테아레이트, 스테아릭애씨드, 팔미틱애씨드
