Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk N SPF50+ PA++++

Anessa is a Shiseido-owned Japanese sun-care brand, made in Japan and distributed in Korea by Shiseido Korea. The 60ml "기획세트" (bundle) listing on Olive Young Korea prices it at ₩59,000, 22% off at ₩45,900, checked 2026-09-04. Its formula combines eight UV filters: two mineral (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide), three FDA-monograph organic filters (Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Homosalate), and three organic filters not on the FDA's OTC sunscreen monograph list (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate/Uvinul A Plus, Ethylhexyl Triazone/Uvinul T150, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine/Tinosorb S). Japanese ingredient listings for the same-named product (アネッサ パーフェクトUV スキンケアミルク) show an identical filter set and disclosure order, checked 2026-09-04. The product is marketed as "아시아No.1선크림" (Asia's No.1 Sunscreen), a brand marketing claim based on Shiseido's own regional sales data rather than an independent third-party award. It is not officially distributed by Shiseido in the US; American buyers reach the same formula only through import retailers (Amazon, YesStyle, Stylevana), where three of its eight filters fall outside the FDA monograph.

Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: no fragrance listed; labeled allergens present: Citronellol, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.

Is the Korean version of Anessa's Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk different from the export/Japan version?

No confirmed difference. Japanese ingredient listings for the same-named product (アネッサ パーフェクトUV スキンケアミルク) show the identical eight-filter set and disclosure order as Olive Young Korea's ingredient disclosure — including three filters not on the FDA's OTC sunscreen monograph list (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine). There is no separate FDA-compliant US reformulation; US buyers reach this same formula only via import retailers, checked 2026-09-04.

Is Anessa a Korean brand?

No — Anessa is a Japanese sun-care brand owned by Shiseido, manufactured in Japan. It is sold in Korea through Shiseido Korea's official distribution, and this page covers the version sold on Olive Young Korea, not brand nationality (this site's inclusion criterion is Korean-market data, not where a brand is headquartered).

Is it vegan?

No — multiple cruelty-free/vegan tracking sites report Anessa is not certified cruelty-free or vegan, noting Shiseido's parent-company sales in markets that require animal testing by law. No vegan certification badge appears on the Olive Young Korea listing either, checked 2026-09-04.

What does "Asia's No.1 Sunscreen" actually mean?

It's a brand marketing claim, not an independent certification. Shiseido markets Anessa with this tagline (printed directly on the Olive Young Korea listing as "아시아No.1선크림") based on the brand's own regional sales figures rather than a third-party award body, checked 2026-09-04.
