Featuring a completely revamped core technology, it incorporates the "Light-Resistant Capsule NEO ★," which took three years to develop.

Background

In 2014, we developed "Watery Capsules," a core technology that supports high sun protection and a comfortable feel. To deliver even better value in a sustainable way, we have revamped our core technology. After three years of development, we have realized and incorporated "Light-Resistant Capsule NEO ★," which also takes environmental considerations into account.

Light-resistant capsule NEO ★ points

The capsule's base material is silica, a naturally derived ingredient that is considerate of both people and the environment. Furthermore, we selected a UV absorber that blocks a wide range of ultraviolet rays, from UVA to UVB, and is less prone to degradation of its UV-blocking function due to light exposure.
At the same time, by using a technology that encapsulates more of these ingredients in capsules, we have achieved both high sun protection and environmental friendliness, transforming it into a new core technology.

Renewal points: Achieving three elements, including a comfortable user experience.

By incorporating "Light-Resistant Capsule NEO ★" and our accumulated expertise in sunscreen research, we are renewing the formula to provide an even more comfortable user experience.

1. Blocks a wide range of ultraviolet rays, from UVA to UVB.

   

   Thanks to "Light-Resistant Capsule NEO ★," it blocks a wide range of ultraviolet rays while also containing ingredients that prevent the UV-cutting function from degrading due to ultraviolet light and other forms of light.

2. Commitment to environmental considerations

   By using capsules made from the natural mineral silica, we have achieved environmental consideration.

3. A pleasant feeling that moisturizes with every use.

   Formulated with three moisturizing ingredients. Sodium hyaluronate and ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid retain moisture on the skin's surface and deep within the stratum corneum, while skin-adsorbing hyaluronic acid locks in moisture on the skin's surface. It has a watery texture that makes it easy to use every day.

*: Ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate), skin-adsorbing hyaluronic acid (hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate)
★: Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (UV-blocking ingredient), silica
