No.9 NAD Peptides Dewy Sun Essence

SPF 50+ · PA++++
Our score 94.3 / 100

No fragrance or ethanol; fatty alcohols support the emulsion without an ethanol penalty. Light esters, silicone elastomers and powders suggest smooth spread; dewiness and wear are untested.

Invisible No white cast — chemical/hybrid filters that straight-up disappear on skin. Sensitive & baby fragrance-free, low-irritant, baby-safe gentle formulas. South Korea
03 The facts, at a glance
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid runs both.
Chemical
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Essence
Finish How it looks once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Dewy
Tinted Adds sheer pigment (iron oxides) that masks the white cast common to mineral filters and gives a skin-tone finish.
No
fragrance-free No synthetic perfume added. Not FDA-defined in the US; the EU requires 'Parfum' + the 26 named allergens on the label. 'Unscented' is different — it can hide masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
Yes
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
