[ Review ] N'Pure Cica Beat The Sun SPF 50+ PA++++

 
N'Pure Cica Beat The Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ Review

Product Description
N'Pure Cica Beat The Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ is a daily sun protection with SPF 50 PA ++++ that is formulated with 100% Natural Cica Leaf Water, Chrysanthemum Extract, Chamomile Extract, and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract. This sun cream contains 5 types of UV filter that protects skin against UVA & UVB rays while moisturizing and soothing the skin.


When it comes to anti-aging, sunscreen is the ultimate secret weapon. Dermatologists worldwide agree that daily sun protection is the #1 anti-aging tip because UV exposure is the leading cause of premature wrinkles, dark spots, and loss of skin elasticity. By shielding your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, sunscreen helps maintain a youthful, even-toned complexion.


Packaging, Scent and Texture

N'Pure Cica Beat The Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ Texture


N'Pure Cica Beat The Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ is housed in a 35ml green tube with a minimalistic vibe. I like products with such nozzle tip dispenser which can be found in products such as Celimax Dual Barrier Skin Wearable CreamAxis-Y Heartleaf My-Type Calming Cream and Axis-y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen.

It makes dispensing the runny lotion-like texture so effortlessly without any mess. I didn't like the milky sunscreen scent though, but thankfully, it wasn't overpowering. There is no fragrance and alcohol added to the formulation. 

How To Use :
1) Apply evenly on the face and neck 30 minutes before doing activities. 
2) Reapply if needed, or doing outdoor activities for long periods of time.

Performance and Ingredients

N'Pure Cica Beat The Sun SPF 50+ PA++++


Formulated with natural Cica Leaf Water, Chrysanthemum Extract, Chamomile Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, this sunscreen protects skin against UVA and UVB rays while moisturizing skin. It is also hypoallergenic tested and dermatologically tested. 

During my first application, I developed 3 zits ( temple, above the lips and chin ) on the following morning, which surprised me greatly. I skipped using the product for a month and returned to using it, and thankfully, no such issue occurred.

I really like the light texture, how it spreads so easily, and sinks into skin fast with a cooling sensation but unfortunately, it left a a greasy shine on my face akin to SOLYPH Face The Wild Sun Cream on my combination skin with surface dehydration, residing in humid climate. A light dusting of powder helped to minimize the shine.

In terms of ingredients, N'Pure Cica Beat The Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ contains the following 5 UV Filters...

Butyloctyl Salicylate : Helps to increase the SPF rating and enhance the stability of other UV filters like Oxybenzone and Avobenzone. It is not reef-safe. Currently not registered as a sunscreen active yet. 
Said to be the modified version of the chemical UV filter Octisalate which was created intentionally by the sunscreen industry to avoid having Octislate on the ingredient listing as a declared active and used by formulators to disguise the presence of a ‘chemical’ UV filter in mineral sunscreen formulas. It is also used to reduce the amount of inorganic mineral filters needed to get a desired labelled SPF and PPD rating.  (source)

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate : A new generation, chemical sunscreen agent with high UVA protection and high photostability. Also known as Uvinul A Plus.

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.

Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate : A chemical sunscreen agent with UVB protection. Also known as Amiloxate.

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. 

Water, Glycerin, Dibutyl Adipate, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Pentylene Glycol, Isoamyl P-Methoxycinnamate, Polysilicone-15, Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Inulin Lauryl Carbamate, Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloydimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Isohexadecane, Glyceryl Caprylate, Caprylyl Glycol, Polysorbate 80, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Sorbitan Oleate

Conclusion

To conclude, N'Pure Cica Beat The Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ has been a good experience. I genuinely enjoy the light, fast-absorbing texture that glides on effortlessly with a refreshing cooling sensation. However, it does leave a noticeable greasy shine on my combination skin with surface dehydration—especially in a humid climate. A light dusting of powder helped control the shine.

The nozzle tip dispenser is a highlight—it makes dispensing the runny, lotion-like formula clean and easy. I wasn’t a fan of the typical milky sunscreen scent, though it wasn’t overwhelming. On the plus side, the formulation is free from added fragrance and alcohol.

[ Review ] N'Pure CICA Beat The Sun Powder SPF30

 
N'Pure CICA Beat The Sun Powder SPF30 Review

Product Description
N’pure Cica Beat The Sun powder is a lightweight hybrid sunscreen powder by combining physical sunscreen (Titanium Dioxide) and chemical sunscreen (Ethylhexyl Salicylate & Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate) to provide protection against UVA/UVB suns with comfortable brushes.

Enriched with natural content such as Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Rice Bran Oil & Vitamin E. With claims to provide maximum protection for the skin, the product is also able to help absorb excess oil, minimize the appearance of pores, and make the face makeup more perfect while reducing shine. Highly recommended for re-apply sunscreen process and suitable for oily and acne-prone facial skin.

Not many brands offer sunscreen powder so when I chanced upon N'Pure CICA Beat The Sun Powder in Batam, Indonesia, it was just apt for me to purchase it. Derma E Sun Protection Mineral Powder had been discontinued while Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF 45 had scratchy brush bristles so this was my 3rd sunscreen powder. Such designs ensure hygienic, mess-free application, making it perfect for quick SPF touch-ups throughout the day!

Hailing from Indonesia, NPURE products are made from carefully selected natural ingredients from plant extracts to essential oils. There are no parabens, sulfates, or artificial fragrances in NPURE products that can trigger negative reactions on the skin.

N'Pure Cica Series contains Centella Asiatica (cica) content which helps to soothe the skin and speed up the healing of acne. Suitable for acne-prone or sensitive skin, this series also moisturizes the skin and reduces inflammation.
