How it works
Like SKIN1004's sun stick, this is a solid balm base, methyl methacrylate crosspolymer and synthetic wax carrying the bulk of the formula so it glides on as a stick rather than a fluid. The chemical UV filters and boron nitride, a mattifying mineral powder, cluster through the first half of the list, which is where the 'Matte' name comes from. Camellia Japonica seed oil and Artemisia Capillaris (mugwort) extract, the two ingredients the product name calls out, sit in the middle third alongside turmeric root extract and jojoba seed oil. Centella asiatica extract appears late, at position thirty-seven, with panthenol close behind at forty-three and hyaluronic acid named earlier in the botanical cluster, a supporting rather than lead role for either.
Key benefits
- Boron nitride gives this stick a matte rather than dewy finish
- Mugwort extract and camellia seed oil named in the formula's botanical middle third
Key actives
Artemisia Capillaris (Mugwort) ExtractNamed in the formula's botanical middle third
One of the two ingredients called out in the product's own name, part of a calming botanical blend under the matte UV base.
Centella Asiatica ExtractPosition thirty-seven of forty-eight
A supporting rather than lead role in this stick, present but positioned well behind the mugwort and camellia the product name calls out.
What do mugwort and camellia do in this sun stick?
Artemisia Capillaris (mugwort) extract and camellia Japonica seed oil are named in the product's middle third, alongside turmeric root extract and jojoba seed oil, forming the botanical blend the 'Mugwort+Camelia' name refers to.
How much centella is in this formula?
Centella asiatica extract appears at position thirty-seven of forty-eight, a supporting rather than lead ingredient in this particular stick, unlike Beauty of Joseon's centella-branded products.
Why is this called a matte sun stick?
Boron nitride, a mattifying mineral powder, sits in the formula's front half alongside the UV filters, which is what gives this stick its matte finish rather than a dewy or glossy one.
How many sticks come in this listing?
Two 18g sticks of the same Matte Sun Stick formula, sold as a pack.

How to use
- Twist up and glide directly over bare skin or makeup, focusing on the high points of the face.
Worth knowing
- Centella here is a supporting ingredient positioned late in the list; buyers wanting centella as a lead active should look to Beauty of Joseon's dedicated centella-branded products instead.
