Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-12
What is this product?
Tocobo's 코튼 소프트 선 스틱 is a 19g stick whose panel runs 48 entries with no disclosed concentration on any of them. It is a wax-and-powder system, synthetic wax at 1, methyl methacrylate crosspolymer at 5, silica at 10 and ozokerite at 15, carrying five organic UV filters at 4, 7, 11, 12 and 13 plus titanium dioxide at 39. Positions 16 to 33 are a continuous run of eighteen botanical extracts, alpha-bisabolol sits at 37, and 향료 is printed at the last position. The statutory row declares three functions at once, 미백, 주름 개선 and 자외선 차단, with no filing number. The SPF and PA grade is the notable evidence problem: it appears nowhere in the text layer of either archived page, only as printing inside the brand's own detail image, where the container reads SPF50+ PA++++ and the caption reads SPF 50+ PA++++, while the same pages carry that exact string four times for a different product in the cross-sell block. The 비건 wording has no named certifier on either page.
What makes it different?
Eighteen botanical extracts in a single consecutive run at positions 16 to 33, which is an unusual amount of plant material to carry inside a wax stick, and a statutory row declaring three registered functions where a sun product normally declares one. And an evidence oddity worth knowing: the SPF and PA grade is nowhere in either page's text, while that exact string appears four times on the same pages belonging to a different product.
