Product details

Key ingredients

Micro Defense formula (UV filters wrapped in micro-powder) — The powder breaks the instant it touches skin so the UV filters spread evenly and fill microscopic gaps, giving a uniform film however you apply it.
Hyaluronic acid — Moisturizer that keeps the watery texture from drying the skin.
Royal jelly extract — Moisturizing ingredient listed on the current product page.
BG (butylene glycol) — Humectant in the moisturizing base.

Texture & scent

A watery essence that spreads like a light lotion, leaves no white cast and no stickiness, and stays weightless even when reapplied or layered. Scented with a gentle white muguet (lily of the valley) fragrance.

Loved in Japan

Japan's top-selling sunscreen for four consecutive years (Intage SRI+, Sept 2020 to Aug 2024). @cosme Best Cosme Awards: Best Sunscreen 1st place (2016), 2nd place (2019), 3rd place (2020). The latest formula with Micro Defense launched February 8, 2025.

How to use

Take a little at a time and smooth it evenly over the skin; too little product will not give full protection. Use as the last skincare step and under makeup. Reapply after sweating or wiping the skin. Wash off with facial cleanser or body wash; no special remover needed.

Cautions

Not recommended for very sensitive skin. Do not use right after hair removal or on wounds, swelling or eczema. Rinse immediately if it gets into the eyes. If it stains clothing, check the care label before using bleach.
