What it is
People look up at the sun from the sea, and the sun looks back at the sea and people. The name "Sea the Sun" combines the sounds of Sea and See, and adds Sun, embodying the desire to live in harmony with nature while enjoying it. Kuromoji and Funori from Izu, henna and herbs from Ishigaki. Their growth is deeply connected to the nearby sea. The sea connects us beyond land, quietly supporting our lives and the cycle of nature. That's why we focused on ingredients that could potentially flow into the sea. We do not use synthetic UV absorbers made from chemical substances, and we have also paid attention to the texture. We do not use UV scattering agents containing titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, but instead achieve SPF35 PA+++ using only the power of plants, mainly rice bran-derived ferulic acid (UV blocking ingredient) and black yam seed oil (moisturizing). Choosing what is good for your skin is also connected to the future of the sea and forests. It is a regenerative good formula that is in harmony with the cycle of nature. The moment you apply it to your skin, a delicate floral-woody fragrance of magnolia and cedarwood wafts up. It's a scent that brightens your mood and calms you down. With a plant-based formula that feels like wearing a beauty serum, it can be washed off with soap. It doesn't leave a white cast and has a smooth, non-greasy feel, making it a UV cream you'll want to use every day as an extension of your daily skincare routine.
