Product details

A tube of Beta-Glucan Barrier Sunscreen on a white table against a pale blue wall in sunlight, beside white oyster mushrooms

Barrier + sun care

SPF50+ PA++++ in a light, serum-like texture with beta-glucan and peptides, for daily sun care that also looks after a thirsty barrier.

iUNIK built this sunscreen for dry, sun-stressed skin. Five UV filters cover UVA and UVB, while beta-glucan and GreenDiol® keep skin moisturized and a peptide blend with ginseng targets the look of ageing. An oil-in-gel-in-water structure keeps it feeling like a serum, with no white cast.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Five UV filters

    iUNIK’s “5-layer sun filter”: two that guard against UVA and three against UVB, for broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++.

    No. 4, 5, 6, 7, 12 of 42 on the list

  • Beta-glucan + GreenDiol®

    Beta-glucan keeps skin moisturized for a long time and supports a healthy moisture barrier, while GreenDiol® helps the formula absorb and hold on to water.

    No. 3, 35 of 42 on the list

  • Aging-Shield Peptide™

    iUNIK’s peptide blend for slow-aging care: a hexapeptide (Argireline Amplified®) for skin elasticity, with antioxidant ginseng extract.

    No. 39, 42 of 42 on the list

  • Panthenol + allantoin

    Two classic soothers that help keep sensitive, sun-exposed skin comfortable.

The last step of your morning skincare

  1. 1

    Prep

  2. 2

    Squeeze

    Squeeze out an even line of sunscreen, enough to cover your whole face.

  3. 3

    Spread

    Spread it evenly over every area that will be exposed to the sun.

  4. 4

    Base

    Leave it to set for a fresh, dewy finish, or go on with makeup; it doubles as a makeup base.

Good to know

  • A chemical (UV filter) sunscreen. Not labelled water-resistant, so reapply after swimming, sweating or towelling off, and through the day outdoors.
  • Made for all skin types, including sensitive skin, with a texture iUNIK says has no stinging or irritation.
  • Comes in a 60 mL tube and a 15 mL mini.
