PREFACE Skin Regenerating Hybrid Sun Essence SPF50+/PA++++ is a high-performance sunscreen formulated to protect the skin from harmful UV rays while supporting skin health. This hypoallergenic, essence-type sunscreen has been dermatologically tested for safety and effectiveness.

It combines both chemical and physical UV filters to provide broad-spectrum protection with minimal irritation. The formula includes AakoSun BEMT, an organic UV filter that delivers high SPF and UVA protection while converting UV rays into harmless thermal energy. It also contains Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂), a mineral filter that deflects both UVA and UVB rays, offering up to 15 hours of sun protection.

Infused with over 60% skincare essence, the product features powerful actives such as 3GF Complex, V7 Complex, Niacinamide, White Flower Complex 6, and V-Lactocitrus. These ingredients work together to strengthen the skin barrier, support skin cell regeneration, brighten the complexion, fade dark spots, provide deep hydration, and help fight signs of photoaging.

The innovative Coolming-Oil Technology enhances the formula’s texture, giving it a smooth, lightweight, and refreshing feel while leaving a naturally glowing finish on the skin.

Formulated with 92% EWG Green Grade ingredients, it is gentle on sensitive skin, made without harmful substances such as alcohol, parabens, oxybenzone, octinoxate, and mineral oils. It is also environmentally conscious, reef-friendly, and cruelty-free.

Ingredients

Hero Ingredients


AakoSun BEMT


Also known as Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, this is an oil-soluble organic sun filter that protects against both UVA and UVB rays (280–400nm), with peak protection around 310 and 345nm. Only small amounts are needed for high SPF and UVA protection. It is minimally absorbed into the skin, rarely causes irritation, and shows no hormonal effects. Approved for use in sunscreens in many countries worldwide.

Titanium Dioxide


Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) is a mineral sunscreen that protects skin by reflecting and scattering UVA and UVB rays, forming a protective layer on the skin’s surface rather than being absorbed. Safe and effective for decades, TiO₂ is recognized by the US FDA as GRASE (Generally Recognized As Safe and Effective). Unlike some chemical filters, mineral sunscreens do not pose hormonal risks and are safer for coral reefs and overall skin health.

3GF Complex Nano Peptide

A skincare complex composed of three growth factors for skin regeneration(Oligopeptide-1, Oligopeptide-2, and Polypeptide) that stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, strengthen the skin barrier, and boost the skin's natural healing abilities.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide repairs the skin, diminishes dark spots, inhibits melanin production, smooths wrinkles, stimulates elastin production, maintains skin's oil-water balance, restores youthful, bright, and beautiful skin.

V-Lactocitrus

A vegan probiotic extract from Jeju Island's fermented Yuzu. It has excellent antioxidant properties, prevents skin aging, improves skin softness and elasticity, and helps to maintain a bright skin tone.

V7 Complex

Composed of 7 vitamins (Vitamin C, B3, B5, B7, B12, E, F), offers efficient brightening, antioxidant, and anti-aging benefits.

White Flower Extracts (6 Types)

A skincare complex consisting of six white flowers (Freesia Refracta Extract, Lilium Tigrinum Extract, Leontopodium Alpinum Extract, Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Extract, Narcissus Pseudonarcissus (Daffodil) Flower Extract,Iris Versicolor Extract). Helps to soothe and calm skin, helping the skin to stay comfortable and stable.

About Ingredients

AakoSun BEMT

It is better known as Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. It is an organic, oil-soluble sun filter. Absorbs both UV-A and UV-B rays at wavelengths from 280 to 400nm, with peak protections at about 310 and 345nm. Only small concentrations are required to achieve a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF) and UV-A Protection Factor (UVAPF). Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine is not significantly absorbed into the skin, barely leads to skin irritation and does not appear to have hormonal effects.

Approved for the use in sun care preparations in many countries worldwide.

Titanium Dioxide

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most important and effective sunscreens for protecting skin and has been safely used for decades. Unlike other compounds used in sunscreens, which may absorb only a part of the UV radiation, TiO2 is extremely efficient at protecting against all aspects of UV light that can affect skin by absorbing and scattering both UVA and UVB rays.

TiO2 is a mineral sunscreen (Inorganic Sunscreen Active) that forms a protective layer on the top of the skin to reflect UV rays, whereas other chemical filters are absorbed into the skin.

Mineral filters such as TiO2 are the only type that are generally recognised as safe and effective (GRASE) by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), while some organic filters have been banned due to their detrimental effects on coral reefs or for health related concerns.

How To Use

Step 1

Pump enough sunscreen amount after cleansing, toner, and moisturizer.

Step 2

Apply liberally on the face, neck, and exposure area of the skin, 10  minutes before sun exposure.

Step 3

For best results, re-apply sunscreen after every 3-4 hours.

FAQ

What does it mean when your product ingredients are certified with EWG?

Environmental Working Group (EWG) has been working since 1993 to track chemical safety, then developing a set of health standards according to the findings gathered by their research team over the years. The EWG has been following these published health standards to award suitable products the EWG VERIFIED™ mark, which acts as a marker of scientific approval of these products for healthy and safe use. 

If a product is marked as EWG VERIFIED™, this means that it has been tested and certified to be free from any of EWG’s list of ‘Unacceptable’ or ‘Restricted’ ingredients. EWG VERIFIED™ also requires products to be fully transparent with their ingredients list, and follow standard ingredient-naming guidelines to make it easier for consumers to research and understand the components of the products. Additionally, EWG meticulously follows the manufacturing processes behind products to ensure that companies develop and follow good manufacturing practices.
