Product overview
Dot & Key Mango Detan Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 50+ 80g is an oil-free gel sunscreen formulated with Niacinamide and Alpha-Arbutin, with Mango extract included as a supporting ingredient.
PA rating note: this catalog listing states PA+++, however the official brand site lists this product as PA++++ (4 pluses), while a separate major retailer listing independently shows PA+++ (3 pluses) -- this is a genuine discrepancy across legitimate sources, not simply a typo, so neither rating is asserted here with full confidence; please verify against the specific pack's labeling. UV filter note: the official brand site's current ingredient list uses the Uvinul/Tinosorb filter system (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol), which also includes Titanium Dioxide -- making this a hybrid (chemical plus mineral) formula rather than a purely chemical or purely mineral one. An older listing on an ingredient database shows a different filter set (Octinoxate, Avobenzone, Oxybenzone); the official site's current list is treated as authoritative here, but this conflict is disclosed rather than silently resolved.
