d'Alba Mild Sun Cream
d'Alba's Mild Sun Cream (listed as "[민감자차] 달바 마일드 선크림", i.e. a 100% inorganic/mineral-filter formula for sensitive skin) is a MFDS-registered functional SPF50+/PA++++ sunscreen using only Titanium Dioxide as its UV filter; it sells for ₩34,000 (50ml) on Olive Young Korea, checked 2026-09-04. The identical formula is sold internationally on Olive Young Global as "Waterfull Mild Sun Cream" for US$40.00 — its own published English INCI list is a word-for-word match for the Korea listing. It is vegan-certified (Italy's V-LABEL) and was independently tested by KOTITI as free of Oxybenzone and Octinoxate ("reef safe"), but the brand's own Q&A confirms non-comedogenic testing has not been done.

Is it OK for sensitive skin?
Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: no fragrance listed; labeled allergens present: Limonene, Citral; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.
How much of the key actives does it contain?
Madecassoside: rank 52 of 58.
Can I buy it outside Korea?
International shipping: Olive Young Global; Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea; Shipping scope unverified: d'Alba official site (dalba.co.kr); Global price: US$40.00 (Olive Young Global, 50ml, listed as "Waterfull Mild Sun Cream").
Is the Korean version of d'Alba's Mild Sun Cream different from the export version?
No — Olive Young Global sells the identical formula under the name "Waterfull Mild Sun Cream" (US$40.00, 50ml), and its own published English ingredient list is a word-for-word match, item for item, with Olive Young Korea's mandatory Korean disclosure, including the same single UV filter (Titanium Dioxide), checked 2026-09-04.
Is it vegan?
Yes — certified by V-LABEL, an Italian vegan-certification body, per multiple brand answers in Olive Young Korea's own Q&A (brand-stated, most recently dated 2025-02-05, checked 2026-09-04).
Is it non-comedogenic tested?
No — the brand explicitly states that non-comedogenic claims require a dedicated human-use test, and confirms this product has not undergone that specific test, though it has completed a low-irritation skin test and Italian V-LABEL vegan certification (brand-stated, Olive Young Q&A answer dated 2024-01-22, checked 2026-09-04).
Is it reef-safe (free of Oxybenzone and Octinoxate)?
Yes — the brand states an independent lab (KOTITI) confirmed non-detection of Oxybenzone (Benzophenone-3) and Octinoxate (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate) in this product (brand-stated, Olive Young Q&A answer dated 2024-02-23, checked 2026-09-04). This is consistent with the mandatory ingredient disclosure, which lists only Titanium Dioxide as a UV filter.
Is it waterproof, and how often should it be reapplied?
No — the brand states its sun care products are not waterproof and recommends reapplying every 2-3 hours during swimming or extended outdoor exposure (brand-stated, Olive Young Q&A answer dated 2024-08-06, checked 2026-09-04).
