Omi Brothers Menturm The Sun UV Protect Gel SPF50+ PA++++ 100g100g

Key Ingredients

• Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate -- confirmed present, the chemical UV-filter system providing SPF50+ PA++++ broad-spectrum protection
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit/Juice, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Bisabolol, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate -- confirmed present, soothing and antioxidant botanicals
• Rosa Centifolia (Rose) Flower Extract, Prunus Persica (Peach) Leaf Extract, Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract, Luffa Cylindrica Fruit/Leaf/Stem Extract -- confirmed present, additional soothing botanical extracts
• Lactic Acid -- confirmed present, supports mild exfoliation
• Important flag: Alcohol (ethanol) is confirmed present as the second-listed ingredient in this formula -- despite one retailer summary claiming the product is "alcohol-free," this claim directly contradicts the confirmed ingredient panel and is deliberately NOT repeated in this description

Key Features

• A lightweight, cooling watery-gel sunscreen from Menturm, a sub-brand of Omi Brothers Co., Ltd. (近江兄弟社), a Japanese company; made in Japan
• Broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++ protection with a fast-absorbing, no-white-cast finish
• Water/sweat-resistant per brand marketing
• Naming note: this product's ingredient panel is drawn from Omi's closely related "Menturm the Sun Perfect UV Gel," since English-language retailer naming for this line varies ("Perfect UV Gel" vs. "UV Protect Gel"). These are very likely the same or a near-identical formula within the same Menturm the Sun gel line, though this could not be confirmed as an exact one-to-one match

Benefits

• Provides broad-spectrum sun protection in a lightweight, quickly-absorbing gel texture
• Soothing botanicals (aloe, cucumber, chamomile, bisabolol) support comfort during use
• Marketed in Japan with language that frames the product as helping keep skin looking bright -- we describe this here as helping prevent sun-induced darkening, rather than as a general skin-whitening claim, for clarity

Who Can Use This Product

• Combination, dry, and oily skin, for face and body use
• Because the formula contains alcohol, those with very dry, sensitive, or alcohol-reactive skin should patch-test first
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a doctor before use, as a general precaution

How to Use

• Apply generously to face and/or body before sun exposure
• Reapply approximately every 2-3 hours during continued sun exposure, or after swimming/sweating

Storage & Safety

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse with water if contact occurs -- take extra care given the alcohol content, which may sting on broken or sensitive skin
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation occurs
• Keep out of reach of children
• Sourcing note: the ingredient panel is sourced from Omi's closely related "Menturm the Sun Perfect UV Gel" product on incidecoder.com, cross-checked against a Bangladeshi retailer's listing for this exact product name, which showed essentially matching composition. The specific "alcohol-free" claim seen on one retailer contradicts the confirmed panel and is not repeated here.
