There may be some white cast when applying, but it goes away quickly. They say that high SPF sunscreens are not good for sensitive skin, but I'm happy with the moderate SPF level.
ConsDue to the oiliness, it doesn't seem to suit oily skin types. I think I can only use it in the depths of winter. Even when I apply it in the fall, it leaves an overly greasy feeling.
TipRecommended for dry skin.

It then adheres smoothly to the skin surface. While there is a slight whitish cast from the mineral sunscreen, I was worried it might feel greasy and heavy, but unlike other nourishing formulas, it leaves a finish that feels like just skincare products without any unpleasant sensations. The slight whitish cast creates a clean and natural tone-up effect without looking blotchy, and it provides a pretty glow without being excessive.
ConsFor dry skin types, the usage experience was satisfactory, but for oily skin types, it may feel a bit heavy and greasy, especially during the summer.
TipThe packaging is convenient and portable.

Cons- It contains 2 types of filter ingredients, which is a bit disappointing.. Even though it's marketed as a mild sunscreen for kids, I'm not so sure.. - Those with oily skin may find it leaves a slightly greasy finish

At first, I thought it would be whitening based on the texture, but as I applied it, the whitening effect became very subtle. I really liked that. When I apply it, my face has this beautiful, glossy glow that just flows across my skin. It's like a moisturizing cream in terms of the skin finish, even though it's a sunscreen. The texture is very creamy and thick. It feels quite dense when you squeeze it out, but it spreads very easily when applied. I haven't experienced a texture this creamy before. The fragrance isn't overpowering, so I didn't have a strong positive or negative reaction to it. Overall, I really enjoyed using this and highly recommend it. The only downside is that the glow it gives is a bit oily, so it might feel heavy for those with oily skin, especially in the summer.
ConsThe downside is that it's too creamy, making it difficult to apply. But once it's on, it spreads well. It's more suitable for winter than summer, as it feels a bit oily, despite the thick, creamy texture.
TipYou don't need to apply a thick base layer, as this sunscreen provides a moisturizing feel on its own, so you don't have to focus too much on the base before applying it.

Packaging The white and green combination of the package is clean and cute. The size is also small, so it seems good to carry and apply. ⭐️2. Non-irritating It is a mineral sunscreen formulation with no nano and no silicone, suitable for use from infants to adults, including pregnant women. It has passed the stringent criteria of the German Dermatest Institute as a 'low-irritation sunscreen'. I usually have trouble with clogged pores when using cosmetic ingredients, so I always check the ingredients carefully. But with the non-nano powder and non-silicone formulation, I was able to use it without any trouble. ⭐️3. Spreadability The sunscreen spreads smoothly and absorbs well, making it easy to apply the next step of base makeup. The Ectoin Essence Sunscreen was moist and spreadable, just like applying an essence. Despite being a mineral sunscreen, it had good spreadability and the moisturizing effect lasted long. 👍
Cons⭐️1. Oiliness As much as it had good spreadability and moisturizing, it felt oily over time. It would be good for those with normal to dry skin, especially in the winter!
Tip⭐️1. Reapplying I recommend reapplying it several times as the SPF37 protection. The good spreadability makes it easy to reapply without any issues. ⭐️2. Cleansing It was easy to cleanse as it is non-irritating and doesn't clog pores, so it was removed thoroughly with just the first cleansing.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI recently came across a post saying that mineral sunscreens are much better at blocking UV rays and are less irritating to the skin compared to chemical sunscreens. So I spent a lot of time searching for a good mineral sunscreen. However, I couldn't find a product with ingredients that I felt completely comfortable with. That's why I was so satisfied when I read the introduction for Ectoin's organic mineral sunscreen. Just the words 'organic mineral sunscreen' made me really happy! Plus, I was also pleased by the clean and modern packaging I received. If I had to choose the most satisfying aspect, it would be the formula. As someone with combination-sensitive skin, a lightweight yet non-oily moisturizing feel is extremely important to me. The Ectoin sunscreen has a rich, substantial texture. The reason this is good is that with lightweight sunscreens, in the sweaty summer weather, they often just slide right off and only leave coverage on the forehead and cheeks, leaving the rest exposed. But the Ectoin sunscreen's substantial texture and strong hydration meant I didn't have to keep reapplying it. Furthermore, over time, the oily feel actually faded away, and the hydration remained, blending in naturally with my foundation to give a healthy glow. Other light lotion-like sunscreens may start off fresh, but the hydration disappears over time, causing the makeup to break down. Also, as a mineral sunscreen, there is absolutely zero white cast. Mineral sunscreens are great at UV protection, but the dreaded white cast has always been an issue - but not with this one. It applies smoothly without any white cast whatsoever. And most importantly, the UV protection is excellent. This summer, I applied it thoroughly to my neck area, and I didn't get the usual darkening that I normally experience there. Great ingredients, excellent protection, wonderful hydration, and a smooth application - I'm truly in love with this product!
ConsThis seems to be more a matter of personal preference rather than a shortcoming. It has a substantial, dense texture and a moisturizing finish. When I applied it with my oily-skinned boyfriend, he said the oily feel was too heavy for his liking. It may be a bit too much for those with oily skin. Those with oily skin should keep this in mind!
TipI found that applying a more watery moisturizer together with it gave me better spreadability! Mixing them in about a 1:2 ratio would likely work better for summer.

There's no stinging or irritation, which I really appreciated. I also liked that there was no white cast.
ConsThe finish is quite shiny and greasy. After applying, my skin, whether on my face or hands, feels oily and uncomfortable, especially during the summer. So I end up having to blot with tissue paper to soak up the excess oil.

Being a mineral sunscreen, it provided a slight tone-up effect, and its compact size made it convenient to carry around.
ConsI was quite disappointed with this product compared to my expectations. First of all, the price-to-volume ratio is quite low, and the oiliness... oh no! It feels like I've applied Vaseline, with the thick, sticky texture and an abundance of oil. After applying it to my face and neck, I had to wash it off immediately. I was previously using the Cica Centella sunscreen, which I loved, but this one just doesn't work for me. It would be very difficult to use in the summer, and even those with very dry skin might find the greasy, Vaseline-like texture unpleasant. For me, it's too difficult to apply, which is a shame.
TipThose who enjoy a glowy skin finish could potentially achieve that look by using this sunscreen as the base!

It seems suitable as a sunscreen for outdoor activities, especially water sports or swimming. While the heavy and creamy texture may be burdensome for everyday use, the oiliness can help the sunscreen stay on and last longer when exposed to water or sweat during outdoor activities.
ConsIt has a lot of oiliness, and instead of being absorbed, it leaves a sticky layer on the surface, so you should be cautious when using it on your face.

I was able to use it with confidence as it is non-irritating. Moisturizing: The moisturizing power is great, making it perfect for use in the winter. Even in dry weather, my skin remained moisturized. Glowing skin: When applied, it gives a natural glow to the skin, making it look healthy. It also works well as a makeup base.
ConsOiliness: There is a slight oiliness, which may be a burden for those with oily skin. Especially in the summer, it may be difficult to control sebum. Spreadability: When applied, there is a slightly heavy feeling, rather than a refreshing one. It's as if a thin film is formed on the skin. Low SPF: The SPF is a bit low, so it may not be sufficient to block strong UV rays in the summer. On days with a lot of outdoor activity, you may need to apply an additional sunscreen.
TipRecommended for winter use: It is recommended for use in the dry winter season as the moisturizing effect is excellent. Your skin will remain moisturized. Use as a makeup base: If you want a glowing skin expression, try using it as a base before makeup. It can create a natural and healthy skin appearance. Apply in small amounts multiple times: For those who find the oiliness burdensome, try applying it in small amounts multiple times. This way, you can use it in a lighter way. The Barone Ecto Essence Sunscreen has an oily and dense texture, so it may not be suitable for those with oily skin. However, in the winter, the moisturizing power is good, so it may be suitable for those with dry or combination skin. The slightly low SPF is a bit disappointing, but as it is a gentle product that gives a glow, it seems to work well for sensitive skin as well.
