OMI Brotherhood MENTURM the SUN Tone Up UV Essence Lavender SPF50+ PA++++ 80g

OMI Brotherhood MENTURM the SUN Tone Up UV Essence Lavender SPF50+ PA++++ 80g is a Japanese tone-up sunscreen for face and body from The Omi Brotherhood (近江兄弟社). It gives very high protection from strong UVB and UVA rays. Its lavender colour helps correct dullness and sallowness, so skin looks brighter, clearer and glowing. Fine pearl particles blur uneven texture, and seven plant extracts keep skin moisturised. It is waterproof yet washes off with soap. This makes it a great daily sunscreen and makeup base for anyone in Bangladesh who wants a fresh, bright look under the strong sun.

Key Benefits

• Very high UV protection: SPF50+ helps prevent sunburn and tanning, and PA++++ gives the highest Japanese UVA rating against rays linked to dark spots and early ageing.
• Lavender tone-up: The lavender shade helps cancel out yellowish dullness, so skin looks about one tone brighter and clearer.
• Soft glow: Fine pearl particles gently cover dullness and uneven texture and add a healthy glow.
• Waterproof, yet easy to remove: It resists water and sweat, but the brand says it comes off with regular soap or face wash.
• Light and moisturising: The water-based essence spreads easily without a white cast or sticky feel, and seven plant extracts add moisture.
• Doubles as a primer: It works as a makeup base for a brighter, smoother finish.

Key Ingredients & How It Works

• UV filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Titanium Dioxide): A mix of filters that together cover UVB and UVA rays.
• Cucumber Fruit Juice and Aloe Vera Leaf Juice: Fresh, hydrating plant ingredients that help keep skin moisturised and comfortable.
• Rose Flower (Rosa Centifolia) Extract and Chamomile Flower Extract: Plant extracts that help condition the skin.
• Perilla Leaf, Luffa and Peach Leaf Extracts: More plant extracts that add moisture and help keep skin in good condition.
• Colour pigments and pearl particles: Give the lavender tint and soft glow for the tone-up effect.

How it works: The water-based essence spreads into a light, even layer. Its UV filters absorb and scatter UVB and UVA rays before they reach the skin. The lavender pigment balances out yellow, dull tones, and the pearl particles reflect light, so your skin instantly looks brighter and more even. This tone-up is a makeup effect and washes off. The plant extracts help keep your skin hydrated throughout the day.

Skin Type & Suitable For

• Suitable for normal, combination, oily and dry skin.
• Ideal if your skin looks dull, yellowish or tired and you want a clearer, brighter look.
• A good light makeup base for office, university and everyday outings.
• Note: It contains alcohol (denatured alcohol) and has a light floral "flower soap" fragrance. If your skin is very sensitive or reacts to alcohol or fragrance, patch test first or choose a fragrance-free option.
• Shade note: On deeper skin tones, use a thin layer and blend well so the lavender does not look ashy.

How to Use

1. Prep your skin: In the morning, cleanse your face and apply your usual toner and moisturiser.
2. Take enough: Take a generous amount for your face. Using too little lowers the protection.
3. Spread evenly: Dot it over your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, then blend it out evenly. Include your neck so the tone matches.
4. Body: Use it on your arms, neck and other exposed areas too.
5. Makeup: Let it set for a minute, then apply powder or foundation if you like.
6. Reapply: Reapply every 2–3 hours when outdoors, and after swimming, heavy sweating or towel drying.
7. Remove at night: Wash it off with your usual face wash, soap or body wash.

Important Suggestions

• Always patch test on your inner arm or jawline 24 hours before your first use, as it contains alcohol and fragrance.
• Use sunscreen every day. UV levels in Bangladesh are high all year, even on cloudy or rainy days.
• Reapply in humid weather. Sweat and wiping your face remove sunscreen. For touch-ups over makeup, a UV powder or spray can help between full reapplications.
• Blend well around the hairline and jaw so the lavender tint looks natural.
• Keep it away from your eyes. Rinse well with water if it gets into your eyes.
• Don't apply it on broken skin, wounds, rashes or sunburned skin.
• Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Don't leave it in a hot car, and close the cap tightly after use.
• Stop using it if redness, itching or stinging happens.
