Description
The COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 PA+++ is one of the most popular K-beauty sunscreens from the COSRX brand — a Hybrid SPF50 PA+++ sunscreen that combines chemical (organic) and physical (inorganic) UV filters for complete, broad-spectrum protection from UVA & UVB.
With 5 new generation UV filters — including Tinosorb S (Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine), one of the most effective and photostable broad-spectrum filters on the market — it provides excellent protection without white cast.
Enriched with Aloe Arborescens Leaf Extract (1,100 ppm) — a rare and more potent variety of Aloe than the classic Aloe Barbadensis — for intense hydration and soothing. Its light, creamy texture absorbs quickly, leaves no white cast or sticky feeling, and works perfectly as a makeup base.
Cruelty-free, Vegan, and ideal for daily use. Note: Contains Fragrance/Parfum and certain EU aromatic ingredients — not suitable for individuals with extremely sensitive skin to fragrances.

MAIN INGREDIENTS
UV Filters — 5 Types of Hybrid Protection:
• Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (Tinosorb S) ~2.2-2.7%: One of the best UV filters on the market. Broad spectrum (UVA + UVB, 280-400nm), extremely photostable, does not degrade with UV exposure. Not FDA approved (USA) but widely available in Europe, Australia, Asia
• Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate) ~5.4-6.6%: Classic chemical UVB filter — fast, effective UVB protection
• Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid (PARSOL® HS / Ensulizole) ~2.6-3.2%: Strong UVB filter, water-soluble — gives a light, non-greasy texture. Works synergistically with other filters for stronger SPF
• Isoamyl P-Methoxycinnamate (Amiloxate) ~1.7-2.1%: UVB + UVA II filter with the highest photostable absorption among available UVB filters
• Titanium Dioxide (Natural/Inorganic filter): Natural mineral broad-spectrum filter (UVB + UVA II). Its presence explains the "hybrid" designation. In small amounts — does not cause white cast
Skincare Actives:
• Aloe Arborescens Leaf Extract (1,100 ppm): Rarer and more potent variety of Aloe than classic Aloe Barbadensis. Rich in acemannan, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Intensive hydration, soothing sun irritation, emollient action
• Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice Root Extract): Anti-inflammatory, soothing, reduces redness. Ideal for sensitive skin that reacts to the sun
• Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): Antioxidant that neutralizes UV-induced free radicals, enhances sunscreen effectiveness, protects barrier lipids
• Glycerin + Butylene Glycol: Double humectant system — binds moisture, maintains hydration throughout the day
• Dimethicone + Cyclopentasiloxane: Silicones that give the characteristic silky, smooth texture — aid in smooth application, act as emollients, do not clog pores at normal concentrations
