Ingredients (Representative / Key Actives)

Some of the major functional ingredients include:

• Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (a chemical UV filter)

• Titanium Dioxide (a mineral UV filter)

• Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (broad‑spectrum chemical filter)

• Bis‑Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

• Zinc Oxide

• Alpha‑Bisabolol (soothing)

• Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) Extract

• Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract

• Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (for hydration)

• Various plant extracts, botanical waters, emollients, waxes, silicones, and stabilizers

Because it is in stick / balm format, there are structure ingredients like polyethylene, waxes, and amodified silicones or crosspolymers that help maintain solidity and glide.

Usage Instructions

1. Unscrew or pull off the cap.

2. Twist the base / dial to raise the stick (about 5 mm).

3. Glide the stick gently and evenly over exposed areas (face, neck, arms, etc.).

4. Reapply often — typically every 2–3 hours, or after sweating, water exposure, wiping.

5. Can be applied over makeup (though blending lightly may help integration).

User Feedback / Considerations

• Positive impressions: Many users like that it is lightweight, not greasy, and easy to reapply during the day.

• Cautions / negatives:

  • Some users report a waxy feel when layering or in humid conditions.

  • On first use, some people see “white chunks” or bits from the side of the stick, which tend to disappear as the stick is used further.

  • Some users with acne-prone or sensitive skin experienced breakouts or clogged pores after regular use.

  • Texture or “pilling” (product flaking) can occur if applied over dry skin or heavy layers without smoothing.

One user comment (paraphrased):

“Lightweight for my skin… it didn’t feel greasy. You really have to take your time with this sunscreen and glide the stick at least 4× to ensure sun protection. There were some white chunks the first few times but they disappeared once I used more of the stick.”

Another noted that despite liking reapplication convenience, that they got some closed comedones (small bumps) after using this on the face for prolonged hours.
