UIQ Biome Barrier™ Cream Mist

What is this product?

A 100 ml two-phase facial mist from a Korean brand's own mobile storefront, where the statutory disclosure is page text rather than an image. Its 31 printed entries put a fermented Cutibacterium filtrate second at 9.79 percent, the only declared level on the list, and 나이아신아마이드 seventh. The oil phase is two light entries at 5 and 6 with lecithin-based emulsifiers, which is what the shake-before-use format re-disperses. There is no fragrance entry, no essential oil and no colourant anywhere in the list, and one 애씨드 entry, a hydrolysed hyaluronate at 22, which is a humectant rather than an exfoliating acid. 에탄올 is printed at 25 while the brand's copy calls the formula 자극 없는 순한. Five instrument readings are reproduced in the brand's imagery from a named testing house on a panel of twenty, three of them printing their own before and after values, plus a separate irritation study on thirty subjects reporting a mean reaction score of 0.00. The statutory screening row reads 미백 기능성, a category none of the fifteen detail images claims. The brand publishes no pH figure and no level for any entry other than the second.

What makes it different?

Three things separate it. First, a declared level where almost nothing else on the list has one: the fermented filtrate at position 2 is printed at 9.79 percent, and the other thirty entries carry no figure at all. Second, an evidence set that prints its own arithmetic, since three of the five instrument panels show the before and after values behind their percentages, which lets a reader recompute them rather than take them. Third, a two-phase format with an oil phase of only two entries and lecithin-based emulsifiers, built to be shaken and sprayed over finished makeup. Against that, the page claims nine awards while printing six badges, its satisfaction figures are a flat 100 across four questions from a panel of twenty, and 에탄올 sits at 25 of 31 under copy that calls the formula free of irritation.
