This article was originally posted on Reddit (now deleted) on January 5 and 19, 2022. I’ve replaced links with archive links if necessary (and available) and made minor formatting changes and corrections, but otherwise haven’t done any editing or updating. The existing products have only had repackagings and minor reformulations since, if any, and the brand still has a prominent “BEACH FRIENDLY” logo.

Update from after I posted the content below: The press release I link to at the beginning was edited on February 7, 2022 to retract their claim that the products meet the restrictions in Palau.

[News] Kanebo Allie, February 2022: Upcoming brand overhaul with “beach-friendly” reformulations

(Image source)

The Kao Group has announced that Kanebo’s Allie brand will be totally overhauled to have more sustainable packaging and new “beach friendly” formulations. The new Allie Chrono Beauty series (which may actually turn out to be written differently in English; the press release only has it in katakana and it’s not on the packaging images) (ETA that it’s Chrono Beauty without the hyphen; corrected where possible) will have five product categories (ten counting variations) that will collectively be released on February 12, 2022 in Japan (and in 2022 for most other countries and 2024 for China).

Personally the current main product, Allie Extra UV Gel N, is my HG sunscreen, and I thought I would be fine with future reformulations because the product has continually improved since I first started using it in 2013, but this “beach-friendly” reformulation has an entirely different focus and I’m VERY nervous. As they explain with the map below, as of November 2021, sunscreens containing certain ingredients are restricted or banned in Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, Aruba, Bonaire, Thailand, and the Republic of Palau.

I find the current formulation very effective and it doesn’t hurt my eyes and doesn’t make me break out or anything and doesn’t leave a white trace all over my belongings. Please please please don’t be a change for the worse…

(And now, putting my personal panic aside.)

The outer packaging will use FSC-certified paper, and the tubes/bottles will partly be composed of biomass material. There will also be a limited edition product that will be released in May that uses materials recycled from old in-store paper materials, with part of the proceeds being donated to environmental organizations (singular/plural unclear).

The new line-up

It seems like the line-up will mostly remain the same aside from a few new versions of the tone-up/color-correcting products, with all the existing products reformulated to meet international regulations as of November 2021.

The new product names are as follows:

  • Allie Chrono Beauty Gel UV EX (90 g/40 g; formerly Allie Extra UV Gel N) – Reformulation
  • Allie Chrono Beauty Milk UV EX (60 mL; formerly Allie Extra UV Perfect N) – Reformulation
  • Allie Chrono Beauty Tone Up UV (60 g each; formerly Allie Nuance Change UV Gel)
    • 01: Bright Shower – Reformulation (formerly “Bright White”)
    • 02: Rose Chaire – Reformulation
    • 03: Sheer Ecru – New product; contains multi-colored shimmer to cover uneven skin tones
    • 04: Sakura-iro – Limited-edition pink beige version
  • Allie Chrono Beauty Color Tuning UV (40 g each; formerly Allie Color Tuning UV)
    • 01: Ennui Purple – Reformulation
    • 02: Sunny Apricot – Reformulation
    • 03: Sheer Beige – New product; seems to basically be a tinted sunscreen
  • Allie Chrono Beauty Facial Gel UV EX (60 g; formerly Allie Extra UV Facial Gel N) – Reformulation

Or maybe the reformulations should be considered new products, too, if they’re formulated to be in compliance with Palau’s regulations (discussed below).

They’re all rated SPF 50+ PA++++, are still “friction-proof,” and, aside from the milk, are “super waterproof” (which usually means they’ve passed an 80 min. water resistance test, and has been the case for their prior formulations). The regular gel, milk, and tone-up line also protect your skin from dirt/dust/PM2.5/pollen/etc. (which is common for Japanese sunscreens lately). The regular gel, milk, and facial gel are fragrance free.

Release dates

The reformulated/new products are scheduled to be released on February 12, 2022 in Japan; some time in 2022 from Kanebo TaiwanKanebo Hong Kong, Kanebo Thailand, Kanebo Malaysia, Kanebo Korea, and Kao Singapore; and 2024 from Kanebo China.

Sunscreen regulations

Out of curiosity (and as a kind of a coping mechanism because I’m still in shock 😭), I looked up the regulations that they mention in their map, assuming those are the ones they took into account for their reformulations.

WhereSince whenFilters bannedRegulation
HawaiiJanuary 1, 2021Oxybenzone, Octinoxate“Gov. David Ige signed SB 2571, Act 104 — prohibiting the sale, offer of sale, and distribution of sunscreens that contain the chemicals oxybenzone and octinoxate in Hawai‘i, beginning Jan. 1, 2021.” (source)
Virgin IslandsMarch 30, 2020Oxybenzone, Octocrylene, Octinoxate“The new law […] targets oxybenzone, octocrylene, and octinoxate […] Imports of sunscreens containing the chemicals will be outlawed as of Sept. 30, 2019; the ban on their distribution, sale, possession and use will take effect March 30, 2020.” (source) – Kanebo’s graphic says that sales are banned, but possession has been outlawed too.
ArubaJuly 1, 2020Oxybenzone“On November 19, 2019, the Parliament of Aruba unanimously approved the law prohibiting the use of single use plastic, as well as the use of Styrofoam and Oxybenzone. […] This law is effective July 2020 and it prohibits the import and sale in Aruba.” (source) / “AB2019 no.67 […] planned to be officially enforced on July 1, 2020.” (source)
BonaireJanuary 1, 2021Oxybenzone, Octinoxate“According to the Bonaire News, the island's council voted unanimously Tuesday (May 15 [2018]) to follow Hawaii's lead in banning oxybenzone and octinoxate. The precise nature of the ban is yet to be determined, but the council voted to make the ban effective as of Jan. 1, 2021.” (source)
ThailandAugust 3, 2021Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Enzacamene (and Butylparaben)“It prohibits the bringing of and use of sunscreen containing any of the four chemicals into Thailand’s national parks. […] The four chemicals are Oxybenzone (Benzophenone-3, BP-3), Octinoxate (Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate), 4-Methylbenzylid Camphor (4MBC) and Butylparaben.” (source)
Republic of PalauJanuary 1, 2020Seems like pretty much all organic (chemical) filters, including Octinoxate, Bemotrizinol aka Tinosorb S, and Octyltriazone aka Uvinul T 150“It is unlawful for any person to bring reef-toxic sunscreen into the Republic for any reason. […] It is unlawful for any person to import, manufacture, sell, offer for sale, or distribute for sale reef-toxic sunscreen in the Republic. […] If a sunscreen is not in the original manufacturers packaging with all ingredients listed or the original label is absent or illegible, officers shall confiscate the sunscreen. If officers cannot determine whether a sunscreen is reef-toxic because the label is printed in a foreign language, the officers shall confiscate the sunscreen.” (source) – See Appendix for full list of banned ingredients. The BBC describes it as 10 ingredients, but it’s more like 10 categories of ingredients.

Palau has banned every single organic (chemical) filter commonly used in Japan, so I’m (fearfully) wondering whether the new Allie sunscreens might only have inorganic (mineral) filters. The reformulated products might also be better described as new products, too. —Unless maybe they aren’t compliant with Palau’s regulations after all? (Keeping my fingers crossed)

Here’s Lab Muffin’s take on the whole reef safe thing, btw. I haven’t been to a beach in ages (hint: sun allergy) so I’m certainly not going anywhere near coral reefs and am honestly seriously bummed that my HG (for more than eight years!!) sunscreen will most likely undergo a major change based on laws that aren’t even legislated in Japan.

Edit: I posted the ingredient lists here [link to deleted comment]. It turns out that they aren’t compliant with Palau’s (current) regulations after all.

Ingredient lists

To continue from the original post: The new ingredient lists are now on Kanebo’s official product catalogue. Overall, it turns out that the new formulations do contain organic (chemical) filters; I find it particularly interesting that Mexoryl XL is among them (for Allie Chrono Beauty Gel UV EX and Allie Chrono Beauty Tone Up UV). While this is great news for me, I think they should be clear that you can’t take their sunscreens to Palau without their being confiscated on arrival. I guess this could be why they keep emphasizing that they’re following the regulations as of November 2021 (I don’t know what the regulations were at that point), but I find this makes their marketing rather misleading.

Not surprisingly, the two preexisting shades for what is now known as Allie Chrono Beauty Color Tuning UV seem to have changed very little, since they were just released last year. They took out the Hydrolyzed Collagen (as they did in all of the reformulations) and some ingredients have moved around within the ingredient list, and that’s all I can tell based on the lists alone. Also based on the ingredient lists alone, the milk (previously Allie Extra UV Perfect N, now Allie Chrono Beauty Milk UV EX) seems to have changed the most significantly.

Here are my translations of the ingredient lists as they are currently listed on the product catalogue. I’ll try and remember to check to see whether they match what’s printed on the final packaging whenever I see them at the store (ETA: done). Note that I’m just bilingual and have no other qualifications (no background in science, etc.).

These are specifically the ingredient lists for the products as made for the Japanese market, and could be different elsewhere.
