“—” means no specific record for that ingredient in that jurisdiction's lists — it is not an approval. Restricted ingredients are allowed within limits (concentration, product type, label warnings); a product listing one is not necessarily over the limit. How we check.
Ingredient list from Missha official store, retrieved Oct 17, 2026. Formulas change — check the label on the package you buy.
Checked against this formula's UV filters (Octinoxate, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide). These laws cover sunscreens sold — and in some places used — without a prescription.

This formula lists ingredients that are known to break down faster in heat, light or air:
Don't leave sunscreen in a hot car or in direct sun on the beach — heat can separate the formula and lower protection.

Products from other brands whose ingredient lists overlap most with this one. The score weighs the first ingredients most (labels list them roughly by amount), skips ingredients found in most products, and counts UV filters and less common ingredients more. Similar ingredient lists (not a test of how they work) — amounts, texture and results can differ.
Based on the listed ingredients only; recalculated weekly. Not a judgment of which product is better, safer or the same.
Information only, not medical advice. If you are pregnant, have a skin condition or allergies, ask a dermatologist or pharmacist before use.
Its ingredient list includes Butylphenyl Methylpropional, which is listed as prohibited in the EU's CosIng records. Check the official rule on the ingredient page; formulas sold in different countries can differ.
We found no prohibited ingredients. 7 ingredients have limits or conditions in Korea's MFDS records (Talc, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Benzyl Alcohol, Tocopherol, Benzoic Acid and 1 more). That usually means a maximum amount, a product type or a label warning — not a ban.
We found no prohibited ingredients. 4 ingredients have limits or conditions in the FDA's records (Octinoxate, Cyclotetrasiloxane, Butylphenyl Methylpropional). That usually means a maximum amount, a product type or a label warning — not a ban.
Every UV filter we matched in its list is on the FDA's list of sunscreen actives. That is a statement about the filters, not an FDA approval of this product.
Yes — its list includes 8 that the EU requires to be named on labels: Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Salicylate, Hydroxycitronellal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Citronellol, Limonene. That is a labelling rule, not a sign the product is unsafe.
Ingredient lists are in descending order of amount down to about 1%. The first five listed are: Water (Aqua), Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Zinc Oxide, Propylene Glycol. In total 56 ingredients are listed.
