From the brand
What the brand says about this product. Our ingredient analysis follows below.
How to use
As this is a two-layer type sunscreen, please shake well until you hear a rattling sound. Dispense a small amount into the palm of your hand and apply evenly to your skin. For your face and neck, please apply sunscreen carefully after preparing your skin with basic skincare products. If you use too little, you will not get sufficient sun protection. Be careful not to get the liquid directly on your clothing, and wait until it dries before wearing it. To maintain its effectiveness, please reapply frequently after wiping off sweat. When removing it, wash thoroughly with the cleanser you usually use (use face wash and makeup remover for the face, use body cleanser for the body). If it is difficult to remove, soak a cotton pad or towel in some cleanser and apply it to the skin, then wipe it off.
