About Vegan Peptide Bakuchiol Sun Stick SPF 50+ PA++++

Overview

Vegan Peptide Bakuchiol Sun Stick SPF 50+ PA++++ is a cushioning sunscreen from Mary&May, a brand based in Korea. It is rated SPF 50+ PA++++, meaning it is tested to the top of both the UVB and the UVA scales used in Asia. Its job is UV protection, with the rest of the formula working on hydration. The ingredient list runs to 53 ingredients, each broken down in full below.

Texture and finish

By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/dicaprate, Ethylhexylglycerin and Butylene Glycol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.

UV filter system

It uses a hybrid filter system — Uvinul T 150, Parsol SLX and Titanium Dioxide — combining mineral and organic filters. Between them those filters cover UVB and UVA II. They stop short of UVA I (340–400 nm), the deepest ageing wavelengths, so this is not a broad-spectrum filter system by the strictest reading. Every filter in the formula is photostable, so its protection does not fall away over the first hour in the sun — reapplication is still about sweat, water and rubbing rather than degradation.

What the formula does

Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/dicaprate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate.

Firmness signalling: High. Peptides and growth factors that signal for collagen support, and here that comes from Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Nonapeptide-1 and Dipeptide-2.

Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Bakuchiol, Tocopherol and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5.

Who it suits

On richness alone it suits Dry, Combination (dry) and Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.

What it does not target

The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it. 3 ingredients on the label have not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.

Where it fits in a routine

Use it in the morning. In a routine it goes final morning step, before makeup. Apply about two finger-lengths for the face and neck — under-application is the single most common reason sunscreen underperforms. Reapply every two hours of sun exposure, and after swimming or towelling off. Let it set for a couple of minutes before makeup so it does not pill.

This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.

Pros and cons

Drawn purely from the ingredient list

Pros

  • Every UV filter in it is photostable
  • Strong humectant content for hydration
  • No common irritants flagged in the list

Things to know

  • Filter system does not reach UVA I
  • Contains a solid synthetic polymer (microplastic)
  • 5 ingredients could feed malassezia (fungal acne)
  • Part of the label has not been matched to our ingredient database yet

Which skin types it suits

Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.

Suitable for

  • Dry skin
  • Combination (dry) skin
  • Balanced skin

Less suitable for

  • Combination (oily) skin
  • Oily skin

Sensitive skin

No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.

Skin concerns

Based on the curated benefits documented for this product's ingredients.

Helps with

  • Anti-Aging 14 ingredients

    Boosts collagen and cell turnover to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

  • Hydration 9 ingredients

    Attracts and locks in moisture to keep skin plump and dewy

  • Soothing 3 ingredients

    Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation for sensitive skin

  • Evens Skin Tone 2 ingredients

    Brightens and balances complexion for a more uniform appearance

  • Oil Control 1 ingredient

    Regulates sebum production to reduce shine and greasiness

Does not target

Anti-Acne Blackhead Reducing Dark Spot Fading Pore Minimizer Smooths Bumpy Skin

None of the ingredients in this formula are associated with these benefits. This is not unusual, as most products are designed to target a limited number of concerns.

Safety and suitability

Flags to check, not verdicts. None of this is medical advice — if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or treating a skin condition, ask a doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Nothing in this formula is on the standard pregnancy-caution list. That is not clearance — ask your doctor about anything you use daily.
Fungal acne (malassezia)
5 ingredients could feed malassezia: Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/dicaprate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/polyhydroxystearate/sebacate, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate. That is about the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that you will break out.
Sensitive and reactive skin
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
