Product Description
Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ is a lightweight SPF 50+ PA++++ sun cream that doesn’t leave a white cast and works well under makeup. It contains 1,000ppm mung bean extract that soothes irritation and tackles blemishes, along with 1,000ppm bio-hyaluronic acid to boost skin moisture. This sunscreen is vegan and cruelty-free.
Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ was one of the sunscreens I received as part of a Stylekorean collaboration last year. It is touted as a moisturizing and quick-absorbing serum that is like basic skin care with EWG green grade ingredients and contains green bean extracts for antioxidant benefits.
It has been tested to contain SPF 51.1 (+/- 3.5 ) so that consumers can be rest assured that it does contains a minimum of SPF50.
Korean vegan skin care brand TOCOBO is dedicated in creating effective products to help enhance one’s inner beauty. TOCOBO emphasizes “Clarity”, “Modernity”, and “Satisfaction” in its product development by being transparent about ingredients used in formulas, and ensuring the items are in line with the latest beauty trends while meeting customer satisfaction.
Bestsellers include the Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50 PA++++, a sunscreen and serum hybrid that offers soothing effects on top of sun protection, and the Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50 PA++++ that protects and moisturizes skin.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ is housed in a 50ml slim portable plastic bottle that is easy to hold and dispense. The sweet baby blue colour bottle is a bonus point.
It has a strong floral fragrance which I am not a fan of. The lightweight lotion texture with a cooling sensation glides and absorbed well on skin.
How To Use :
1) At the last step of your skin care routine, apply needed amount and gently pat until full absorbed.
2) Apply onto neck, arms, legs, and any other areas that might be exposed to the sun.
Performance and Ingredients
Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream is a moisturizing sunscreen with low allergens and contains mung bean extract and bio hyaluronic acid that gives deep hydration and provides a refreshing sensation.
Also known as a reef-safe sunscreen, it avoids Oxybenzone and Octinosate in its list of ingredients as they have been said to be harmful for marine ecosystem and coral reefs.
The sunscreen has a lovely lightweight lotion texture that left skin soft and smooth with a velvety finishing without the tackiness but has a greasy sheen that thankfully can be mattified under makeup. It has no white cast, being a chemical sunscreen and is non-drying. It stings occasionally and on dehydrated areas though.
Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream has an SPF of 50 PA++++ and helps to protect against UVA and UVB rays. SPF 50 sunscreens protect you from 98 percent of UVB "burning" rays that penetrate your skin, while PA++++ sunscreens provide extremely high UVA protection.
The 5 sunscreen filters are...
Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid : A L'Oréal-group exclusive sunscreen agent commonly called Mexoryl SX. As opposed to most sunscreen agents, it is water soluble.
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate : A new generation, chemical sunscreen agent with high UVA protection and high photostability. Also known as Uvinul A Plus.
Polysilicone-15 : A chemical sunscreen agent with UVB protection. It also help to stabilize the famously unstable UVA filter, avobenzone and works especially well with Ensulizole to achieve high SPF protection. Also known as Parsol SLX.
Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine : A broad-spectrum ( full UVA and UVB protection ) chemical sunscreen agent which is also known as Tinosorb S. Hardly deteriorates in the presence of UV.
Ethylhexyl Triazone : A new generation, chemical sunscreen that gives the highest photo-stable absorption of all available UVB filters today. Also known as Octyl Triazone and Uvinul T 150.

Conclusion
To conclude, Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ has a lightweight lotion texture that left skin soft and smooth with a velvety finishing, however I am not a fan of its strong floral scent and the greasy sheen on my combination skin which thankfully can be mattified under makeup. Adding on, it stings occasionally and on dehydrated areas.
Some of my recent favourite sunscreens are Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA+++ and Face Republic Purity Sun Essence.
