Beauty of Joseon Stay Fresh Tone-Up Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++
Confirmed genuinely distinct from Beauty of Joseon's already-catalogued "Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics" and "Relief Sun: Aqua-Fresh" lines — this is a different naming family (Stay Fresh, not Relief Sun), a different active-ingredient story (a cool-tone/warm-tone color-correcting tone-up line, not a rice-water or rice-extract formula), and — per Olive Young Korea's own mandatory ingredient disclosure for this exact SKU — a mineral-only filter set (Zinc Oxide + Titanium Dioxide, no organic UV filters at all), checked 2026-09-04. Sells for ₩20,000 (50ml) standalone on Beauty of Joseon's own Korean site, and as a "디럭스 기획" (Deluxe Set, +10ml gift tubes ×2) bundle SKU on Olive Young Korea at ₩20,000 list / 32% off at ₩13,500, checked 2026-09-04. Comes in two tone-up shades, Purple (neutralizes yellow tones) and Green (calms redness). Unusual, confirmed export discrepancy: Olive Young Global sells the identically-named "Beauty of Joseon Stay Fresh Tone-up Sunscreen 50ml Deluxe Set (Purple/Green)" (same price bracket, same two shades), but its own ingredient disclosure lists a completely different, organic-filter formula — Ethylhexyl Triazone, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, and Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, plus Titanium Dioxide used only as a pigment (no Zinc Oxide at all) — with no organic filters shared with the Korea-disclosed mineral formula. Both disclosures are Olive Young's own first-party legal ingredient tables (Korea vs. Global storefronts), not third-party data, checked 2026-09-04. (Checked: 2026-09-04)

| Korea vs export | Not a filter-swap-for-FDA-compliance case like most Beauty of Joseon export diffs — a genuinely different formula sold under the same product name on the same seller's two storefronts. Olive Young Korea's mandatory ingredient disclosure for this exact "Stay Fresh Tone-up Sun Cream 50ml Deluxe Set" SKU (goodsNo A000000259573, checked 2026-09-04) opens Water, Zinc Oxide, Dimethicone, Methyl Trimethicone, Titanium Dioxide — a mineral-only filter set with no organic UV filters at all. Olive Young Global's disclosure for the identically-named, identically-priced "Beauty of Joseon Stay Fresh Tone-up Sunscreen 50ml Deluxe Set (2 Options)(Purple/Green)" (prdtNo GA260641122, checked 2026-09-04) instead opens Water, Propanediol, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Methylpropanediol, Dibutyl Adipate, Dimethicone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Titanium Dioxide, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid — an organic-filter formula with no Zinc Oxide at all. Neither formula is entirely FDA-monograph-compliant (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, and Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid are not FDA-approved either), so the swap does not appear to be about US market access — the Global storefront's own price display defaulted to Taiwan delivery during this check. A third-party ingredient database (incidecoder.com) independently shows the same organic-filter ingredient list under the "Purple" variant name, consistent with the Global disclosure. This is flagged as a confirmed, striking finding rather than a guess, since both source disclosures are Olive Young's own first-party tables — but it is unclear which (if either) formula is a newer reformulation of the other, so no reformulation date is asserted. |

Is the Korean version of Beauty of Joseon's Stay Fresh Tone-Up Sun Cream different from the export version?
Yes, and unusually so. Olive Young Korea's own ingredient disclosure for this exact bundle SKU shows a mineral-only formula (Zinc Oxide + Titanium Dioxide, no organic UV filters), while Olive Young Global's disclosure for the identically-named, identically-priced bundle SKU shows an organic-filter formula (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid) with no Zinc Oxide at all. Both are Olive Young's own first-party legal disclosures, checked 2026-09-04.
