Is it OK for sensitive skin?
Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: no fragrance listed; no labeled fragrance allergens declared; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.
How much of the key actives does it contain?
Niacinamide: rank 12 of 54; Panthenol: rank 36 of 54; Adenosine: rank 41 of 54.
Can I buy it outside Korea?
International shipping: Olive Young Global, YesStyle; Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea; Shipping scope unverified: ATHE official site (athebeauty.com); Global price: US$22.23 (Olive Young Global, sale).
Is the Korean version of ATHE's Vegan Relief Mineral Sun Cream different from the export version?
No known difference — Olive Young Global and YesStyle both sell it under the identical name, same SPF50+/PA++++, and the same single-Zinc-Oxide-filter description as Olive Young Korea; a byte-for-byte ingredient-order match couldn't be pulled from Olive Young Global's JS-rendered disclosure, so this is high confidence but not independently byte-verified, checked 2026-09-04.
Is this really a mineral-only (무기자차) sunscreen, given Butyloctyl Salicylate is in the ingredient list?
Yes — the brand directly addressed this in an Olive Young Q&A answer (dated 2026-07-06): Butyloctyl Salicylate is not a registered UV-filter active in Korea, the US, or the EU — it's a dispersing oil that helps disperse the Zinc Oxide evenly. Zinc Oxide is the only UV-filtering active in this product.
Is it vegan certified?
Yes — ATHE received vegan cosmetics certification from EVE Vegan (France) at the brand's 2019 launch, per Korean trade press coverage, checked 2026-09-04.
Does it need double cleansing to remove?
The brand's Olive Young Q&A doesn't give a direct double-cleanse answer, but confirms the mineral-filter formula was tested for sensitive-skin suitability (brand-stated, dated 2026-08-30 and 2026-07-08, checked 2026-09-04).
