1. Start with your regular moisturizer on clean, dry skin. 2. Dispense a pearl-sized amount (about 0.5g) onto your fingertips. 3. Dot the product onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. 4. Gently blend outward until it forms an even, invisible layer. 5. Wait 2-3 minutes for it to set before applying foundation or powder. For best results, use as the final step of your morning skincare. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: You'll notice it 'melts' into skin with no white cast or sticky residue. Week 2-3: Consistent use shows how it prevents makeup from sliding off on humid days. Week 4+: It becomes a non-negotiable part of your routine, acting as a reliable, breathable shield against daily UV exposure.

Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare science, this makeup base was created for a modern problem: sun protection that feels heavy and greasy. Our Tokyo labs developed the Airy Stay formula to be a true second skin—lightweight, breathable, and undetectable. We selected ingredients not just for their high SPF 50+ PA++++ rating, but for their ability to layer seamlessly under makeup without pilling or clogging pores. Every batch is produced in a certified Japanese GMP facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistency. It's become a top-ranked daily base in Japan, trusted by users who refuse to compromise between serious protection and a natural, comfortable feel.

The Kose Fasio Airy Stay Sunblock Makeup Base SPF 50+ PA++++ contains a sophisticated blend of ingredients designed to provide comprehensive sun protection and a flawless makeup base. Key ingredients include UV filters such as ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, which offer broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, preventing sun damage and premature aging. The product also features dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane, which create a smooth, lightweight texture that helps to blur imperfections and control shine, ensuring long-lasting makeup adherence. Additionally, it contains titanium dioxide, which acts as both a physical UV blocker and a pigment for a subtle brightening effect. Antioxidants like tocopherol (vitamin E) are included to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from environmental stressors. The formulation is further enhanced with hydrating agents such as butylene glycol and glycerin, which maintain skin moisture and improve comfort throughout the day. This combination of ingredients not only delivers high-level sun protection with SPF 50+ and PA++++ ratings but also offers a non-greasy, breathable finish that primes the skin for makeup application, making it ideal for daily use in skincare and beauty routines.
