OMI Brotherhood Sun Bears Active Protect Milk Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ 30g
Why you'll love it
OMI Brotherhood Sun Bears Active Protect Milk Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ is a sunscreen milk from the Japanese brand Omi Brotherhood (Menturm). It is made for active days in strong summer sun. The 30g bottle has a light, two-phase milky formula that is waterproof, so it keeps working when you sweat or get wet. It also contains sebum-absorbing powder to reduce shine. It is a great pick for people in Bangladesh who spend time outdoors, play sports, travel or simply struggle with sweat and oil in hot, humid weather.
Key Benefits
- Very high UV protection: SPF 50+ and PA++++ give strong protection against both UVB (sunburn) and UVA (tanning and dark spots).
- Waterproof and sweat-resistant: The protection lasts even when your skin comes into contact with water or sweat.
- Controls oil and shine: Sebum-absorbing powder helps keep your face looking less greasy and feeling dry and smooth.
- Less sweat and odor worry: Alum is included for its tightening effect and helps you feel fresher when you sweat.
- Skin care while you protect: Green tea and Scutellaria root extracts add moisture, and glycyrrhetinic acid helps prevent rough skin.
- Pocket-friendly size: The 30g bottle fits easily in a bag or pocket for reapplying on the go.
Key Ingredients & How It Works
- Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide: Mineral UV filters that help block both UVA and UVB rays.
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate & Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate: Chemical UV filters that absorb UVB and UVA rays for high, broad protection.
- Silica & Sebum-Absorbing Powder: Soak up extra oil and sweat to reduce shine and stickiness.
- Potassium Alum: A traditional ingredient used for its skin-tightening effect.
- Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Leaf Extract & Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract: Plant extracts that help keep skin moisturised.
- Glycyrrhetinic Acid: A licorice-derived ingredient that helps prevent rough, irritated skin.
- Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): An antioxidant that supports the skin.
How it works: This is a hybrid sunscreen that combines mineral and chemical filters for high SPF 50+ PA++++ protection. Its two-phase milk keeps the UV filters and oil-absorbing powders separate in the bottle, so you shake it to mix them. Once applied, it forms a light, water-resistant layer that holds up against sweat and water, while the powders keep your skin looking less oily.
Skin Type & Suitable For
- Best for oily, combination and normal skin that gets shiny or sweaty.
- Suitable for the face and body.
- Ideal for outdoor activities: cricket, football, cycling, running, travel, beach trips and long days outside.
- Good for students and workers who commute in the heat and sweat a lot.
- Note: It contains fragrance (a light grapefruit scent), silicones and parabens. If you have very sensitive skin, do a patch test first.
How to Use
- Shake well: It is a two-phase formula, so shake the bottle well before every use.
- Dispense: Pour an adequate amount into your palm. Using too little lowers the protection.
- Apply evenly: Spread it evenly over your face, neck, arms and any other skin exposed to the sun, as the last step of your morning skincare.
- Reapply: Reapply often, especially after wiping your face with a towel or handkerchief, and after swimming.
- Remove at night: Wash it off thoroughly with your usual cleanser. A double cleanse works best because it is waterproof.
Important Suggestions
- Patch test first: Apply a small amount on your inner arm before first use to check for any reaction.
- Use sunscreen daily. Bangladesh has strong sun all year, so protect your skin even when it is cloudy.
- In hot, humid weather, blot sweat gently before reapplying for better coverage.
- Don't apply right after hair removal or on cuts, rashes, eczema or irritated skin.
- Avoid contact with your eyes. If it gets in, rinse right away with water.
- Protect your clothes: It can be hard to remove from fabric, leather, watches and glasses. Don't use chlorine bleach on stains, as it may cause discoloration.
- Store it tightly capped, away from very hot or cold places and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children.
- Stop using it if redness, swelling, itching or irritation happens.
