Full Ingredient List (INCI):
According to CreamScan analysis, Aestura Derma UV365 Barrier Hydro Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.4 out of 10.
Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.0 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 5.8 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈4.0%).
This product, when used alone as a moisturizer, can provide light humectant hydration in a fast-absorbing formula with a minimal amount of occlusive ingredients. This could work for people with oily skin who need a basic level of hydration.
But it’s not limited to oily skin - since it contains a moderate amount of humectants, such a humectant add-on will also positively contribute to the moisturizing efficacy of any skincare routine when used as a step before applying the main moisturizer.
Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.
With an SPF of 50, Aestura Derma UV365 Barrier Hydro Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ provides very high sun protection, suitable for intense sun exposure in tropical climates, beach vacations, or high-altitude environments.
This level of SPF blocks 98% or more of UVB rays, offering the highest level of defense against sunburn. Broad-spectrum formulations also provide strong protection against UVA rays, which are responsible for skin aging, pigmentation, and DNA damage.
📌 For optimal protection, choose products labeled broad-spectrum to ensure defense against both UVA rays, which contribute to skin aging and pigmentation, and UVB rays that cause sunburn.
This level of SPF is ideal for all skin types, particularly fair, sensitive, or post-treatment skin (e.g., after laser or chemical procedures). It is also highly recommended for individuals at greater risk of skin cancer.
For extended outdoor activities or water exposure, choose a water-resistant formula and reapply every two hours for maximum effectiveness.
📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

The most occlusive product possible is 100% petrolatum (hello Vaseline Jelly). According to studies, however, even 10% petrolatum can achieve almost the same mosturizing effect.
The occlusive properties of petrolatum are at least twice as superior as other occlusive ingredients. This is why, in order to match the moisturizing efficacy of 10% petrolatum, a product needs to contain at least 20% of other occlusives.
Our benchmark for maximum Occlusivity is 20 (and the petrolatum score is always doubled).
