Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+ (US ver.)

Korea ranking #2 sunscreenUS stockNo white cast

Beauty of Joseon's everyday sunscreen made for the US market — the FDA-compliant sibling of the original Relief Sun, built around the brand's signature rice extract. It's a lightweight, broad-spectrum formula that absorbs fast, isn't sticky, and dries down with a natural glow and no white cast. A good fit for anyone who wants a Korean-style daily sunscreen with US-approved filters.

More detail

The US formulation swaps the original Relief Sun's newer-generation Korean filters for four FDA-approved ones — homosalate 9%, octocrylene 5%, octisalate 4.5%, and avobenzone 2.7% — giving broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection (the Korean original is labeled SPF 50+ PA++++). The skincare base keeps rice extract, which carries vitamins B, C, and E along with amino acids and minerals to condition skin while you wear it. Texture is a light, fast-absorbing lotion with zero white cast and a natural-looking (not greasy) finish, so it sits well under makeup. Use it as the last step of your morning routine: apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours when you're in the sun. Because it relies on chemical rather than mineral filters, people whose skin or eyes sting with avobenzone or octocrylene should patch test first — and fans of the original should know the filter list here is completely different.
