About ALL AROUND SAFE BLOCK SOFT FINISH SUN MILK

Overview

ALL AROUND SAFE BLOCK SOFT FINISH SUN MILK is a cushioning sunscreen from Missha, a brand based in Korea. Its job is UV protection, with the rest of the formula working on hydration and oil control. The ingredient list runs to 49 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, Glycerin and Water, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.

UV filter system

It uses a hybrid filter system — Zinc Oxide, Octisalate, Octinoxate, Titanium Dioxide, Tinosorb S and Uvinul A Plus — combining mineral and organic filters. Between them those filters cover UVB, UVA II and UVA I, so the formula is broad-spectrum in the meaningful sense: it reaches past 340 nm, where the ageing wavelengths sit. The formula contains a photounstable filter alongside a stabiliser, which is the standard and effective way to keep it from degrading in sunlight.

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, Glycerin, Water and Cyclopentasiloxane.

Oil control: High. Ingredients that moderate sebum or absorb shine, and here that comes from Silica, Zinc Oxide, Quaternium-18 Bentonite and Silica Dimethyl Silylate.

Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Sodium Benzoate and Zinc Oxide.

Who it suits

On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry), 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, brightening and tone 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. 2 ingredients on the label have not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.

What is not in it

It does contain drying alcohol, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.

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

  • Broad-spectrum coverage that reaches into UVA I
  • Strong humectant content for hydration
  • No common irritants flagged in the list

Things to know

  • Contains drying alcohol high in the list
  • 4 ingredients could feed malassezia (fungal acne)

Which skin types it suits

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

Suitable for

  • Balanced skin

Less suitable for

  • Dry skin
  • Combination (dry) skin
  • 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.

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.

UV filters

Hybrid mineral and organic filter system · broad-spectrum through UVA I

Zinc Oxide

zinc oxide
Protects from
UVB (290–320 nm), UVA II (320–340 nm), UVA I (340–400 nm)
Photostable
Yes — photostable
Generation
Mineral (inorganic) filter
Approved in
Approved worldwide
Maximum permitted level
Up to 25% (EU, US, KR)

The only single filter that covers the whole UVB–UVA1 range on its own. Scatters and absorbs rather than purely absorbing, and can leave a white cast at high loads.

Octisalate

ethylhexyl salicylate
Protects from
UVB (290–320 nm)
Photostable
Yes — photostable
Generation
First-generation UVB filter
Approved in
Approved worldwide
Maximum permitted level
Up to 5% (EU, US)

A weak filter used mainly as a solvent — it dissolves the crystalline filters (avobenzone, oxybenzone) so they can be formulated at all.

Octinoxate

ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate
Protects from
UVB (290–320 nm)
Photostable
No — degrades in sunlight
Generation
First-generation UVB filter
Approved in
EU, UK, Korea, Japan, US — banned in Hawaii and Key West
Maximum permitted level
Up to 10% (EU), 7.5% (US)

Efficient UVB absorber that degrades in sunlight on its own, and destabilises avobenzone when the two are formulated together without a quencher.

Titanium Dioxide

titanium dioxide
Protects from
UVB (290–320 nm), UVA II (320–340 nm)
Photostable
Yes — photostable
Generation
Mineral (inorganic) filter
Approved in
Approved worldwide
Maximum permitted level
Up to 25% (EU, US, KR)

Strong UVB and short-UVA protection, but it stops before UVA I — a mineral formula leaning on titanium dioxide alone needs zinc oxide beside it for deep UVA.

Tinosorb S

bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine
Protects from
UVB (290–320 nm), UVA II (320–340 nm), UVA I (340–400 nm)
Photostable
Yes — photostable
Generation
Next-generation broad-spectrum filter
Approved in
EU, UK, Korea, Japan, Australia — not FDA-approved in the US
Maximum permitted level
Up to 10% (EU)

One of the most photostable filters in use, and it stabilises avobenzone and octinoxate alongside it. Oil-soluble, cosmetically light, no white cast.

Uvinul A Plus

diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate
Protects from
UVA II (320–340 nm), UVA I (340–400 nm)
Photostable
Yes — photostable
Generation
Next-generation UVA filter
Approved in
EU, UK, Korea, Japan — not FDA-approved in the US
Maximum permitted level
Up to 10% (EU)

A photostable replacement for avobenzone: it peaks at 354 nm, deep in UVA I, and does not need a stabiliser to survive the day.

What to layer it with

Judged by the same curated rules our routine checker uses. It reads the ingredients, not the label.

Compatible with

  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
  • Retinoids (retinol, retinal)
  • AHAs (glycolic, lactic)
  • BHA (salicylic acid)
  • PHAs (gluconolactone)
  • Benzoyl peroxide

Nothing in this formula belongs to a group our rules can put in conflict, so it layers freely. Order still matters — thinnest texture first.

Where it fits in a routine

Morning
  1. Cleanse
  2. Toning
  3. Treat
  4. Moisturise
  5. Protect

This product is the "Protect" step.

  • 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.

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)
4 ingredients could feed malassezia: Isopropyl Palmitate, Isopropyl Myristate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate. 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.
Recorded ingredient risks
Alcohol, Silicone, Sulfate, Synthetic polymer
