rom&nd Baekmee Tone-up Sun Cushion

What is this product?

A mineral sunscreen cushion built on zinc oxide (2nd) and titanium dioxide (5th), with rice and chlorella extracts and adenosine in the mid-to-late half, plus a tone-up finish from iron oxide pigments. A reasonable pick for those who prefer inorganic UV filters, though fragrance is present and concentrations are not stated.

What makes it different?

Both UV filters are inorganic and sit very high in the list, second and fifth, which points to meaningful mineral filter content rather than trace amounts. Emollient esters such as propylheptyl caprylate (3rd) and butyloctyl salicylate (4th) are typically used to soften the whitish cast mineral filters can leave. Rice extract (36th), chlorella extract (27th) and adenosine (34th) are positioned mid-to-late, so their practical effect is likely modest. Fragrance sits at 29th, and alpha-bisabolol at 17th may offset some irritation risk.
