Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Aqua-Fresh SPF50+ PA++++
This is a genuinely separate formula from Beauty of Joseon's already-catalogued "Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics" — not a re-listing. Aqua-Fresh is built around 30.07% rice water (vs. 0.3% rice extract in Rice + Probiotics) and uses a different UV-filter set (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) that shares only two filters with the original and swaps in two (Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid) not used in Rice + Probiotics at all, per Olive Young Korea's ingredient disclosures for both, checked 2026-09-04. Sells for ₩20,000 (50ml, bundled with a 20ml gift tube) on Olive Young Korea, 32% off at ₩13,500, checked 2026-09-04. The same-formula product is sold internationally as "Relief Sun Aqua-fresh" via YesStyle (confirmed matching ingredient order) and other import retailers, but does not currently appear on Beauty of Joseon's own official US sunscreen collection page (beautyofjoseon.com/collections/sunscreens), unlike the Dayscreen and Day Dew lines that brand sells there directly.

Is the Korean version of Beauty of Joseon's Aqua-Fresh Sun Cream different from the export version?
No confirmed difference in UV filters. YesStyle's ingredient listing for "Relief Sun Aqua-fresh" opens with the same sequence (Water, Rice Seed Water, Dibutyl Adipate, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Drometrizole Trisiloxane...) as Olive Young Korea's disclosure, and YesStyle marks it cruelty-free/authorized. It is not currently listed on Beauty of Joseon's own official US sunscreen collection page, so US buyers reach this exact formula through YesStyle and similar import retailers rather than the brand's direct US storefront, checked 2026-09-04.
Is this the same product as Beauty of Joseon's other rice sunscreen, "Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics"?
No — it's a separate formula sold alongside it. Aqua-Fresh uses 30.07% rice water as a headline ingredient versus 0.3% rice extract in Rice + Probiotics, and its UV-filter set differs: Aqua-Fresh adds Drometrizole Trisiloxane and Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, neither of which appears in Rice + Probiotics, while dropping that formula's Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (Tinosorb M) and Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone (Uvasorb HEB), per each product's Olive Young Korea ingredient disclosure, checked 2026-09-04.
Is it vegan?
No vegan certification mark was found on Olive Young Korea's official ingredient disclosure or Beauty of Joseon's own Korean site, checked 2026-09-04. YesStyle's listing marks it cruelty-free but does not claim vegan status.
