How it works
espoir Water Splash Sun Cream SPF50+PA+++ names Butylene Glycol, Titanium Dioxide, Silica on its own manufacturer ingredient list, and this is what each is doing in the formula. Butylene Glycol is a humectant and solvent that keeps the texture spreadable and helps the other actives stay dissolved evenly through the formula. Titanium Dioxide is a mineral pigment used here for opacity and coverage rather than as a UV filter in this formula. Silica is a mattifying, oil-absorbing mineral that keeps this formula's finish from looking shiny under light, the same job it does in a pressed powder or a primer. Together they build a lightweight, spreadable sun cream meant to work as one step in a layered Korean routine rather than a single do-everything product.
