The Taiwan momo page's product name "KISSME Mommy Parent-Child Waterproof Sunscreen" corresponds word for word to the original Japanese name (Parent-Child = Mummy, Waterproof = Aqua, SPF50 matches); Isehan's KISSME Mommy series only sells this one "Parent-Child Waterproof Sunscreen," with no other volume version on sale, so it is determined to be the same SKU.
