Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++
Beauty of Joseon's Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++ sun cream sells for ₩18,000 (50ml) on the brand's own Korean site (Olive Young Korea currently lists it only as part of bundle SKUs, not standalone); Olive Young Global lists it at US$18.00 (US$14.99 on sale), checked 2026-08-27. Its Korea-formula UV filters (Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T150, Tinosorb M, Uvasorb HEB) are not FDA-approved and are unchanged in the Olive Young Global version; a direct URL lookup on Beauty of Joseon's own US storefront for this product's name returns 404, re-confirmed 2026-09-10, and no product under this name (or under a "Daily Relief Sunscreen" name) appears in the brand's current US sitemap. Olive Young Korea's official ingredient disclosure lists rice extract at just 0.3% (3,000ppm) — far below the "30% rice extract" figure widely repeated in marketing copy and reviews.

Is the Korean version of Beauty of Joseon's Relief Sun different from the export version?
The Korea-formula product (the same one sold via Olive Young Global) uses four UV filters not FDA-approved — Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T150, Tinosorb M, and Uvasorb HEB — confirmed via Olive Young Korea's own ingredient disclosure (checked 2026-08-27). A direct URL lookup on Beauty of Joseon's official US site for this product's name returns 404, re-confirmed 2026-09-10, and the brand's current US sitemap lists no product under this name. Whether the brand sells any corresponding product on its US site, under what name, is not established.
Is it vegan?
No vegan certification mark was found on Olive Young Korea's official ingredient disclosure, Beauty of Joseon's own Korean site, or the Olive Young Global listing, checked 2026-08-27. Some third-party retail pages describe it as vegan, but no certifying body or on-page badge confirms this.
How much rice extract does it actually contain?
Olive Young Korea's official ingredient disclosure lists Rice Extract at 3,000ppm (0.3%) and Rice Germ Extract at 2ppm — a large discrepancy from the "30% rice extract" figure widely repeated in marketing copy and third-party reviews. The reason for the discrepancy is not confirmed (checked 2026-08-27).
Is it non-comedogenic tested?
Yes — the brand states it has completed non-comedogenic testing (brand-stated, repeated in multiple Olive Young Q&A brand answers, most recently dated 2026-01-01, checked 2026-09-04). No water/sweat-proof testing has been done, per a separate brand answer dated 2026-08-02.
