In this Haru Haru Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit daily SPF 50 PA++++ sunscreen lotion review, I test a great sunscreen that was purchased by a reader for me to test in my sunscreen testing machine (Thanks Ian!).
The Haru Haru Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit daily sunscreen lotion is a chemical based formulation using the UV filters of Ethylhexyl Triazone, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Polysilicone-15, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (I couldn’t find any concentration information).

Testing notes:
This sunscreen was one I thought interesting enough to give to my daughters to try (10 and 12 years old)…Well, really, it was interesting enough for them to want to try it for themselves (apparently, young girls are into skin care videos now). Unfortunately, both of them broke out into some pretty gnarly bumps and redness after using it. As for the sun protection this formulation offers however, I recommend it!

High performing, but maybe not gentle enough for sensitive skin?
