Review

Results you may expect from using Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.
  • Very high sun protection for prolonged sun exposure, such as spending the day at the beach, hiking, or outdoor sports.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ has a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 1.5 out of 10 and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Synthetic Wax (est. ≈40.0%) and Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate (est. ≈11.0%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract and Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Tocopheryl Acetate (est. ≈0.3%), Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Sun protection

Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ has an SPF of 50 and provides very high sun protection. This level of protection is ideal for activities involving intense or prolonged sun exposure, such as spending the day at the beach, hiking, or outdoor sports. It is particularly recommended for individuals with fair skin, those at high risk of skin cancer, or in environments with intense sun exposure. Remember to apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating to maintain effectiveness.
