According to a survey*2 conducted by ALLIE, the top complaint about sunscreen was "sticky with sweat on extremely hot days," and the second was "weak against sweat, water, and sebum, leading to breakdown," indicating that sweat-related complaints ranked high. A survey*3 focusing on sweat-related concerns when using sunscreen showed the results: 1st "sunscreen comes off," 2nd "stickiness," 3rd "makeup breakdown," and 4th "skin burden."
Focusing on these sweat-related concerns when using sunscreen, ALLIE developed "Sweat-Smooth Comfort UV," which features a sweat-repellent veil to keep sweat away from the skin surface, reducing skin burden such as makeup breakdown and stickiness.

■ Product Information
"ALLIE Chrono Beauty Smooth Milk UV"
(Limited quantity, select retailers)
Sunscreen for face and body
SPF50+ PA++++ UV Water Resistance★★
25mL
Unscented, uncolored
Sunscreen for face and body that repels sweat from the skin onto the film, keeping sweat away from the skin surface, thereby reducing skin burden such as makeup breakdown and stickiness.
● Sweat-repellent veil keeps sweat away from the skin, reducing sticky skin burden
Because there are passages within the film, sweat does not stay but is smoothly repelled out of the film. High water repellency causes sweat to form spherical droplets, making it less likely to remain on the skin and reducing sticky skin burden. Provides a smooth feel even when sweating.
● Clear skin impression without white cast
Uses fine UV-cut ingredients that allow light to pass through more clearly than our conventional technology. Achieves uniform dispersion, which was difficult until now, suppressing aggregation of UV-cut ingredients. As a result, it is less likely to leave a white cast and provides a clear skin impression.
