So I have been window shopping at my local Japanese beauty store ( Shibuyala in koreatown Los Angeles) since the tariffs chaos began. I just happened to see the sunscreen and it was only 10 bucks, I thought perhaps maybe this is something I can use around my eyes to keep chemical sunscreens from getting in there, and I've honestly never tried an Asian mineral sunscreen before.
I wasn't expecting much cosmetic elegance because it's a kid's sunscreen. So I had low expectations.
Okay so let me begin with one huge caveat, and every sunscreen has at least one, it can take a minute or two for this to dry down, remember that it's alcohol-free, I put this on in three to four layers and I wait 30 seconds in between each layer so that it dries down quicker. That's if you want perfection, you could still slap this on your face and go to the beach and you won't look funny, maybe a streak or two.
So this is gorgeous! Once this sets it leaves a gorgeous finish that is ever so slightly tacky, so this would make an amazing primer if you have deeper skin tones but sensitive skin.
It's very moisturizing this needs to go on without anything underneath it.
This is a silicone and shea butter formula. Milky and runny.
The cast is unbelievable on this. This has to be the lightest non-tinted mineral sunscreen I have ever tried and I have tried a lot, especially for the price!
They have to be using nano zinc and titanium in this formula, they just have to it's just too darn elegant especially without the use of UV boosters. Do you know how difficult it is to get a mineral sunscreen this elegant at an SPF of 50 without UV boosters?! Does not settle in my wrinkles! Not my marionette lines and not my crow's feet and not on my neck.
It's extremely tenacious, it sticks to your skin like glue, you will definitely need to double cleanse at the end of the day with this one, which is perfect because I'm in Southern California and I can sweat even when walking. It won't rub off on your clothes or when you touch your face, you would literally have to dig in with your nails to remove this stuff.
No balling and no pilling. Reapplies beautifully.
I say not to use a moisturizer underneath because that'll further exacerbate the time needed for this stuff to dry down and set. I have dry skin and live in Los Angeles, the shea butter in this formula is more than enough to keep me moisturized, it's not greasy however.
All in all I was shocked by this sunscreen. I had very low expectations and was blown away by the formulation of this kid's sunscreen. They really don't mess around in japan, even for kids sunscreens, those Japanese scientists know what they're doing!
They could easily sell this as a specialty sunscreen in the United States for like $45
