Hada Labo Sunscreen: Japan’s UV White Gel (SPF50+ PA++++)

In Japan, Hada Labo makes one product with sun protection: Gokujyun UV White Gel (肌ラボ 極潤UVホワイトゲル), a 90 g all-in-one gel with SPF50+ PA++++ that Rohto says covers skincare and UV protection (as a makeup base) in one step in the morning. Other Hada Labo sunscreen names you’ll see online are not in Rohto’s Japanese Hada Labo line-up, and this guide explains which is which. It also covers the gel’s UV filters, full ingredient list, pH and how to use it, based on Rohto’s official pages.

What you’ll learn in this article:

• What Gokujyun UV White Gel is, with its specs and free-from labels
• Which Hada Labo sunscreen names online refer to which products
• Whether it is a chemical or mineral sunscreen, and its pH label
• The full 31-ingredient list, including ethanol and methylparaben
• How to use it and remove it, and how it compares with Perfect Gel

What Is Hada Labo UV White Gel?

Hada Labo Gokujyun UV White Gel (肌ラボ 極潤UVホワイトゲル) is an all-in-one moisturising gel with SPF50+ PA++++, which Rohto says covers six roles: lotion, serum, milk, cream, mask and UV protection. SPF50+ and PA++++ are the highest SPF and PA ratings a sunscreen can carry in Japan under the Japan Cosmetic Industry Association’s labelling standards, and Rohto says the gel blocks both UVA and UVB. It contains 2 types of hyaluronic acid and a vitamin C derivative as a skin-conditioning ingredient, and Rohto describes a rich gel that spreads lightly and moisturises with a smooth, non-sticky feel.

Which Hada Labo Sunscreen Is Which? Names You’ll See Online

As of September 2026, the only product with SPF in Rohto’s Hada Labo line-up in Japan is Gokujyun UV White Gel; shops abroad list it under several English names, and other Hada Labo sunscreen names you’ll see online are not in that line-up. The easiest way to identify UV White Gel is its Japanese name, 肌ラボ 極潤UVホワイトゲル, or its JAN barcode, 4987241145676.

Based on Rohto’s official Hada Labo brand page and product pages in Japan (checked September 2026).

Is Hada Labo UV White Gel a Chemical or Mineral Sunscreen?

Hada Labo UV White Gel is a hybrid sunscreen: it combines four chemical UV filters (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, polysilicone-15, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate) with titanium dioxide, a mineral filter. The table lists each filter in the order it appears on Rohto’s ingredient list.

Is Hada Labo UV White Gel Weakly Acidic?

Yes. Rohto labels Hada Labo UV White Gel weakly acidic, like healthy skin, but the exact pH isn’t published.

Hada Labo UV White Gel Ingredients (Full List)

Hada Labo UV White Gel has 31 ingredients; the moisturising ones Rohto names are sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid (Rohto’s nano hyaluronic acid) and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (a vitamin C derivative). Unlike Hada Labo’s other all-in-one gels, it is not labelled alcohol-free or paraben-free: its ingredient list includes ethanol and methylparaben.

How to Use Hada Labo UV White Gel

After washing your face in the morning, take a suitable amount in your palm and spread it gently over your skin; it replaces lotion, serum, milk, cream and mask, and can go under makeup. Rohto also recommends it for the neck and arms, and says it comes off with soap.

1. Wash your face in the morning (see our Hada Labo cleanser guide).
2. Take a suitable amount in your palm and spread it gently over your skin.
3. Spread it gently over areas that get a lot of sun, such as the neck and arms.
4. Apply makeup on top if you like; Rohto says it works as a makeup base.
5. At the end of the day, wash it off with soap.

Directions from Rohto’s official product and promotion pages (checked September 2026). Rohto says it can also be used together with other skincare. Rohto does not give reapplication directions or a water-resistance claim.

UV White Gel vs Perfect Gel: Morning and Night

UV White Gel is the morning gel (SPF50+ PA++++, contains ethanol); Perfect Gel is the ethanol-free moisture gel with no SPF. If you want a one-step routine, you can use UV White Gel in the morning and Perfect Gel at night, although Rohto doesn’t prescribe a combination.
