Key actives
Sodium Hyaluronate
the salt form of hyaluronic acid, a humectant that holds water at the skin's surface. It sits at position 15 of 40 on this label's own ingredient list. This is read from the manufacturer's own listed order rather than assumed from the product name, which is what separates a genuine formula component from a name-only claim.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
a low-molecular hyaluronate fragment that spreads easily and layers well. It sits at position 16 of 40 on this label's own ingredient list. This is read from the manufacturer's own listed order rather than assumed from the product name, which is what separates a genuine formula component from a name-only claim.
Allantoin
a soothing agent used to calm and condition sensitive skin. It sits at position 23 of 40 on this label's own ingredient list. This is read from the manufacturer's own listed order rather than assumed from the product name, which is what separates a genuine formula component from a name-only claim.
Panthenol
provitamin B5, a humectant and soothing agent used across toners, serums and creams. It sits at position 24 of 40 on this label's own ingredient list. This is read from the manufacturer's own listed order rather than assumed from the product name, which is what separates a genuine formula component from a name-only claim.
Madecassic Acid
one of the triterpene compounds naturally occurring in centella asiatica extract. It sits at position 26 of 40 on this label's own ingredient list. This is read from the manufacturer's own listed order rather than assumed from the product name, which is what separates a genuine formula component from a name-only claim.
How to use
- Glide directly onto skin over the face and any exposed areas, blending with clean fingers.
What is Mineral Sun Stick?
It is Benton's sun stick (15g). Its own ingredient list names Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Panthenol, positioned the way the key-actives panel on this page describes, rather than actives assumed from the product name. It is used as the last step of a morning routine, before makeup.
How do I use Mineral Sun Stick?
Glide directly onto skin over the face and any exposed areas, blending with clean fingers. Keep the same order every time you use it so you can tell what is actually working, and give a new step a few weeks before judging the result.
Is Mineral Sun Stick the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes. This listing is Benton's Korean-market formula: the same ingredient list, barcode and batch code as the unit sold on shelves in Korea, rather than a version reformulated for US retail. That is the whole reason to buy a Korean-market brand from a specialist rather than a general retailer.
Where does Mineral Sun Stick fit in a morning routine?
Mineral Sun Stick goes on last, after the rest of a skincare routine and before makeup. Let it absorb fully so it does not pill under whatever goes on next.
Who is Mineral Sun Stick suited for?
It is not restricted to any one skin tone or age group. As with any new step, patch-test on the inner arm first if you are new to this formula or to Benton.

How it works
Mineral Sun Stick is a sun stick from Benton. Benton is a Korean skincare brand built on short, named-active formulas, running the same core named actives across its toner, essence, cream and serum lines rather than reformulating a new base for each product. On this jar's own ingredient list, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Panthenol, Madecassic Acid are named directly, which is what the key-actives panel on this page is built from rather than from the product name alone. Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid, a humectant that holds water at the skin's surface, and it is why this sun stick is positioned the way it is. Use it as the last step of a morning routine, before makeup, worked in fully before makeup or the next step. Benton sells this as the Korean-market formula, the same one stocked on shelves in Korea rather than a version built for the US market.
Worth knowing
- New to this formula or to the brand: patch-test on the inner arm and wait a day before applying it to the face.
- Discontinue use and rinse the area with water if redness, itching or irritation develops.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
