Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare science, this UV Essence was created for modern life. Our labs saw that daily stress and environmental factors were making skin more vulnerable, even indoors. We formulated a multi-vitamin shield, selecting 5 key vitamins (C, E, B3, B5, B6) for their proven protective and repairing properties. Every batch is made in our GMP-certified Japanese facilities, undergoing over 200 quality checks. It's not just sunscreen; it's a daily skin supplement. This commitment has made it a top-ranked daily UV care product in Japan, trusted for its reliable, high-protection feel that doesn't weigh you down.

The Kose Suncut Multi Vitamin UV Essence SPF 50+ PA++++ (80g) is formulated with a sophisticated blend of ingredients designed to provide comprehensive sun protection while delivering additional skincare benefits. Key ingredients include UV filters such as ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (octinoxate) and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, which work synergistically to offer broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, ensuring high SPF 50+ and PA++++ ratings for effective prevention of sun damage and premature aging. The product also incorporates multiple vitamins, notably vitamin C derivatives like ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate and vitamin E (tocopherol), which act as antioxidants to neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure, thereby reducing oxidative stress and supporting skin's natural defense mechanisms. Additionally, hyaluronic acid and collagen are included to enhance hydration and improve skin elasticity, promoting a plump and moisturized complexion. Botanical extracts such as chamomile and aloe vera provide soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making the formula suitable for sensitive skin. The inclusion of silicones like cyclopentasiloxane ensures a lightweight, non-greasy texture that facilitates easy application and wearability under makeup. Overall, this essence combines advanced photoprotection with nourishing and anti-aging components, offering users a multifunctional product that safeguards skin from environmental aggressors while improving its overall health and appearance.
