ALL AROUND SAFE BLOCK WATER PROOF 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. The ingredient list runs to 42 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
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.
It uses a hybrid filter system — Homosalate, Octisalate, Titanium Dioxide, Uvinul A Plus and Tinosorb S — 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. 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.
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: Moderate. Ingredients that moderate sebum or absorb shine, and here that comes from Silica, Quaternium-18 Bentonite, Silica Dimethyl Silylate and Aluminum Hydroxide.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Sodium Benzoate and Tocopheryl Acetate.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Several ingredients carry irritation flags. If your skin is reactive, this is one to patch test carefully or approach slowly.
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.
It does contain fragrance, essential oils and drying alcohol, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
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.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
Several ingredients here carry irritation flags. If your skin is reactive or you have rosacea, introduce this slowly, or ask a dermatologist first.
Based on the curated benefits documented for this product's ingredients.
Attracts and locks in moisture to keep skin plump and dewy
Boosts collagen and cell turnover to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Regulates sebum production to reduce shine and greasiness
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation for sensitive skin
Targets breakouts by reducing bacteria and unclogging pores
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.
Hybrid mineral and organic filter system · broad-spectrum through UVA I
Another solvent-filter: modest UVB coverage, mostly there to carry other filters.
A weak filter used mainly as a solvent — it dissolves the crystalline filters (avobenzone, oxybenzone) so they can be formulated at all.
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.
A photostable replacement for avobenzone: it peaks at 354 nm, deep in UVA I, and does not need a stabiliser to survive the day.
One of the most photostable filters in use, and it stabilises avobenzone and octinoxate alongside it. Oil-soluble, cosmetically light, no white cast.

Lightly shake before use. At the last step of your routine evenly apply on the face, neck, arms, legs, and genlty pat into the skin
Judged on how rich the formula reads from its ingredient list, it suits Balanced skin best. It is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry) skin.
Some ingredients here carry irritation flags, so sensitive skin should patch test on the jawline for a few days before applying it to the whole face.
One ingredient could feed malassezia: Isopropyl Palmitate. That describes the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that it will cause a breakout.
Nothing in this formula is on the standard pregnancy-caution list. That is not medical clearance — check anything you use daily with your doctor or midwife.
No — it contains Linalool, Benzyl Salicylate, Limonene, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal.
Yes — it contains Alcohol Denat..
No — it contains Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Peg-10 Dimethicone, Dimethicone/vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Acrylates/dimethicone Copolymer.
Yes — it contains Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract, Linalool, Benzyl Salicylate, Limonene, Geraniol.
It layers well with Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), Retinoids (retinol, retinal), AHAs (glycolic, lactic), BHA (salicylic acid), PHAs (gluconolactone), Benzoyl peroxide.
Use it in the morning, final morning step, before makeup.
It lists 42 ingredients, of which 5 are recorded as actives.
Missha, a brand based in Korea.
It filters UV with Homosalate (homosalate), Octisalate (ethylhexyl salicylate), Titanium Dioxide (titanium dioxide), Uvinul A Plus (diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate), Tinosorb S (bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine).
Yes. Its filters cover UVB, UVA II and UVA I, so protection reaches past 340 nm into the deep-UVA range associated with ageing and pigmentation.
It may leave a slight cast. The formula mixes mineral and organic filters, so any cast is usually lighter than a fully mineral sunscreen's.
It contains none of the filters named in the Hawaii and Key West reef legislation (oxybenzone and octinoxate). "Reef safe" is not a regulated term, so treat that as a fact about the filter list rather than a certification.
Yes. Let it set for a couple of minutes before foundation so it does not pill, and reapply over makeup with a stick or powder rather than rubbing more in.
Every two hours of sun exposure, and immediately after swimming, sweating heavily or towelling off.
