ASIS-TOBE Pure Mineral Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ is a physical sunscreen that forms a thin protective film on the surface of the skin and bounces off ultraviolet rays as soon as it is applied.
Being a fan of mineral sunscreens, it was natural for me to add Asis-Tobe Pure Mineral Sun Cream into my online shopping cart at Robinsons as I just couldn't resist trying new ones.

Performance and Ingredients
Asis-Tobe Pure Mineral Sun Cream is a daily-use physical sunscreen, with a soft texture for a smooth lotion-like finish. The sunscreen uses physical filter, Zinc Oxide to provide UV protection and calming ingredients to reduce any irritation through the day.
It contains soothing ingredients such as DEFENSIL and MultiEX BSASM to provide relief to sensitive skin, while Buckwheat, Chia Seed, Chamomile Flower Water, Green Tea, Jeju Lotus and Jeju Cypress Leaf soothe and calm any redness or irritation.
Asis-Tobe Pure Mineral Sun Cream has a slight white cast that requires some blending and massaging on face. Thereafter, give it 5 minutes for it to settle down from a greasy look to a healthy dewy glow. Occasionally, it may emphasize dry flaky patches.
Once, I applied sunscreen before heading out for a run, however, in my eagerness, I didn't apply as much as I should have. After my run, I noticed my cheeks were not just rosy—they were red and felt noticeably warm to the touch. It became clear that I hadn't protected my skin adequately. The insufficient layer of sunscreen had left my cheeks exposed to the sun’s harsh rays, resulting in this uncomfortable reaction.
Subsequent runs made me more conscious of sunscreen application where I will make an effort to apply a thicker layer and thankfully, there was no such issue thereafter. This shows that applying sunscreen generously is crucial, especially when engaging in outdoor activities. It’s not just about a quick application; it’s about ensuring your skin is thoroughly protected.
ASIS-TOBE Pure Mineral Sun Cream is a Non-Nano physical sunscreen that has not undergone a nanonization process so that the raw material is not absorbed by the body and works more smoothly on the skin. In addition, as a result of particle size measurement, the particle distribution below 100 nm was confirmed to be 0.00%.
SPF 50 sunscreens like Asis-Tobe Mineral Sun Cream protect you from 98 percent of UVB "burning" rays that penetrate your skin, while PA++++ sunscreens provide extremely high UVA protection.
On a label, the letters "PA" followed by plus signs represent a rating system developed in Japan to represent the amount of UVA protection the product provides.
This is what each PA rating means:
PA+ = Some UVA protection.
PA++ = Moderate UVA protection.
PA+++ = High UVA protection.
PA++++ = Extremely High UVA protection.
The single UV filter in Asis-Tobe Pure Mineral Sun Cream is Zinc Oxide which is a physical/inorganic sunscreen with the broadest spectrum (UVB and UVA II, less good at UVA I) protection available today. It also has good stability and also works as a skin protectant and anti-irritant.
The key ingredients are....
DEFFENSIL (Cardiospermum, Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil, and Phytosteroles, Tocopherols, Squalene) : Relieves sensitive skin. Uses 3 extracts such as balloon vine, blueweed seed oil and unsaponified sunflower seed oil
MultiEx BSASM (Chamomile, Rosemary, Purslane and Centella Asiatica extract) : Provides sensitive skin relief.
Chia seed extract, Green tea extract, Jeju Lotus extract and Jeju Cypress leaf extract : Soothing plant extracts
Conclusion
To conclude, Asis-Tobe Pure Mineral Sun Cream has been a pleasant discovery, as it provides a healthy dewy glow once it settled down nicely after some blending and massaging in the white cast. That said, it may emphasize dry flaky patches occasionally.
