Menturm The Sun UV Protect Watery Milk SPF50+ PA++++

Finished two small 35mL/g bottles of Menturm The Sun UV Protect Watery Milk SPF50+ PA++++ a while ago so here's a post for them, finally.  

 

I didn't have good experience with Menturm sunscreens in the past so the expectations for this sunscreen was low, if any ^.^ However, it turned out to be a pretty decent sunscreen! This was a semi-translucent milk with octinoxate (メトキシケイヒ酸エチルヘキシル), zinc oxide (酸化亜鉛), octocrylene (オクトクリレン), Parsol SLX (ポリシリコーン-15), and Uvinul A Plus (ジエチルアミノヒドロキシベンゾイル安息香酸ヘキシル) as active ingredients. On its own it took a while but did set to a dewy and invisible (read: zero coverage) finish, thanks to the semi-translucency, very much reminded me of a recent favorite Nivea Men UV Protector SPF50+ PA++++, only less runny and with longer setting time. 

 

So what did I do but use this Menturm sunscreen to thin out the few super opaque mineral sunscreen milks I've been experimenting with? ^.^ After two bottles though, I won't repurchase. It's been discontinued a long time ago anyway, although I'm sure there might still be stock online somewhere if you're curious to try. Ha.
