Tidy Lab Poreless Sun Essence
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

What is this product?
Tidy Lab's Poreless Sun Essence is a 50ml organic-filter sunscreen sold on pore care and a no-white-cast finish. Four organic UV filters sit in the first ten positions, 에칠헥실트리아존 at 5, 디에칠아미노하이드록시벤조일헥실벤조에이트 at 6, 드로메트리졸트리실록산 at 9 and 메칠렌비스-벤조트리아졸릴테트라메칠부틸페놀 at 10, and there is no titanium dioxide or zinc oxide anywhere in the 39 items, which makes the 무백탁 claim structurally true rather than a judgement call. 나이아신아마이드 at 7 is the highest-placed substantive active and the brand does not headline it. The four the brand does headline, 쌀 PDRN as 소듐디엔에이, 바쿠치올, 생병풀 as 병풀추출물 and 3D 히알루론산 as 소듐하이알루로네이트크로스폴리머, all sit at positions 34 and above out of 39, which places them at or under one percent with no published figure. The finish is matte and set-down through silica and polymethylsilsesquioxane at 13 and 14. SPF50+ and PA++++ appear on the brand's marketing line and in the platform product name, and the statutory disclosure block defers every row to the product detail while the detail's own notice table omits the functional-cosmetic row altogether. The panel was read from that detail image.
What makes it different?
Three things separate it from neighbouring sunscreens. First, the filter list is organic with no hedging and no mineral anywhere, which settles the white-cast question structurally instead of rhetorically, and which also means readers who react to organic filters have nothing here to fall back on. Second, the headline-active placement is an unusually clean worked example of a real pattern: four named 주요성분 occupying positions 34, 36, 38 and 39 of 39, all below the tocopherol, while the one high-placed active at position 7 goes unmentioned in the marketing. Third, the statutory paperwork chain is broken in a way worth learning to spot: the brand's notice block says 상품상세 참조 for every row, and the detail it points to has no functional-cosmetic row at all, so a filed grade that the product name carries has no disclosure surface behind it in the material held.
