Product overview
3W Clinic Intensive UV Sunstick Balm SPF50+ 10g is a stick-format sunscreen balm using a hybrid (chemical + mineral) UV filter system.
Naming caution: 3W Clinic also sells a separate, different product called "Intensive UV Sunblock Cream SPF50+ PA+++ 70mL" -- a cream in a much larger tube, not this stick. The two share similar naming and overlapping filter chemistry but are not the same SKU; this listing refers specifically to the 10g stick/balm format. PA rating note: sources are inconsistent on the exact PA rating for this product (some list PA+++, others PA++++) -- the PA rating is not asserted definitively here.
