A cushion where more than half of what touches your skin is water. The formula is 56% water carried in an essence base, so coverage applies thin, settles dewy, and leaves your skin's own texture visible. Underneath the finish sits sun protection that was measured on human skin: SPF38 PA+++, tested in-vivo to ISO standards.
THE SUN PROTECTION IS MEASURED, NOT ESTIMATED
Five filters share the load four modern organic filters plus titanium dioxide covering the spectrum from UVB through long UVA. In-vivo panels run to ISO 24444 and ISO 24442 returned a mean SPF of 38.0 and PA+++ UVA protection. Daily-driver numbers for a region where the UV index shows up to work every single day.
WHY IT READS AS SKIN, NOT MAKEUP
A water-first formula can't sit heavy. The pigment rides in essence, spreads with a pat, and dries down to a thin, dewy veil that softens pores and unevenness without flattening your skin into a mask. Coverage is light and buildable: pat a second layer only where you need it.
THE TONE WORK HAPPENS AT 2%
Niacinamide is dosed at 2% — a working level, not label decoration. Worn daily, it gradually evens skin tone, so the cushion covers today while the base of your skin catches up underneath.
THE COMFORT LAYER
Panthenol at 1% plus a humectant set (propanediol at 5%, pentylene and butylene glycols) keeps the water phase feeling like skincare on application. Five ceramide types — NP, AP, AS, NS, EOP — round out the base with skin-identical lipids.
BUILT FOR HEAT
The formula passed a month at 45°C, three months at 40°C, and repeated −5 to 40°C freeze–thaw cycling, with a 30-month shelf life at room temperature. It can live in your handbag through August.
THE PUFF IS SHAPED LIKE A TEAR FOR A REASON
The Ruby Cell puff's point reaches nose corners and the under-eye; the curved side lays product flat across cheeks and forehead. Warm the product on the compact's inner lid first for even pickup.

1. Press the puff lightly onto the cushion mesh. One or two presses picks up enough for half the face.
2. Warm the product briefly on the compact's inner lid — it distributes more evenly than loading straight from the mesh.
3. Pat onto face and neck. Pat, don't drag: patting sets the essence into skin, dragging streaks it.
4. Use the puff's point for nose corners and under the eyes, the curved side for cheeks and forehead.
5. Reapplying during long sun exposure takes two minutes and works over makeup — blot excess oil first, then press and pat.
6. Close the cap tightly after each use so the cushion stays saturated.
Caution: Sun-protective cosmetics are one part of sun care, not all of it — pair with shade and cover-ups during peak hours. Stop using and seek medical advice if any signs of abnormality appear. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and clean the puff regularly.
