There is a notable conflict in the ingredient information available for this product. The brand's own regional storefront lists only marketing-style "key ingredients": Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic Acid, without a full ingredient panel. However, an independently-sourced full ingredient list from a cosmetic ingredient database shows a different, more generic sunscreen formula that does not include any of those four marketing ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, C12-15 Alcohols, Sodium Benzoate, Mineral Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Potassium Cetearyl Phosphate, Polydimethylsiloxane, Octocrylene, Butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone), Sucrose Tristearate, Phenoxyethanol, Glycerol Stearate, 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor, Polyacrylamide, and Methyl Hydroxybenzoate (a paraben preservative). We are presenting both sets of information rather than assuming either is fully accurate for this exact product, so please check your physical packaging for the definitive list. Additionally, one retailer describes this product as "paraben-free," which directly contradicts the independently-sourced ingredient list containing Methyl Hydroxybenzoate - we flag this contradiction rather than resolving it in either direction.
This is a sunscreen and repair lotion positioned with high sun protection (labeled SPF 60, with a PA rating that is listed as PA+++ by the brand but PA++++ in at least one independent database - a labeling discrepancy worth noting) alongside deep hydration marketing claims. It is marketed as combining sun protection with skin-soothing and moisturizing benefits.
The product is marketed to provide high-level protection against UVA and UVB rays while helping to hydrate and soothe the skin, with the brand's marketing specifically highlighting Aloe Vera and Centella Asiatica for their calming associations. As with all sunscreen marketing claims, actual protection depends on correct and sufficient application, and the soothing/hydrating claims should be viewed as marketing positioning given the ingredient discrepancies noted above.
This sunscreen is generally marketed toward adults seeking high-SPF sun protection with a hydrating formula. Because of the conflicting ingredient information and the presence of a paraben preservative in the independently-sourced list (despite marketing claims of being paraben-free), we recommend caution and a patch test before regular use, particularly for those with known sensitivities to parabens or UV filters such as Avobenzone or Octocrylene. It is not intended for children, and pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.
Apply approximately 10-15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2-3 hours, or more frequently after swimming or excessive sweating, to maintain protection.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
