Dr.G Green Mild Up Sun Plus SPF50+ PA++++
Dr.G's Green Mild Up Sun Plus is a 100%-mineral (Zinc Oxide only) SPF50+ PA++++ sunscreen, reformulated to a zinc-only filter system in 2020 per a trade-press report; Olive Young Korea currently sells it only in bundle sets (50mL+20mL gift, or 50mL+50mL+10mL) at ₩29,000 list (as low as ₩19,710 on sale), checked 2026-09-04. Olive Young Global sells the identical formula as a standalone 50mL bottle under the name "Dr.G Green Mild Up Sun+" for US$32.00 — its own ingredient disclosure lists the exact same declared-ingredient order as Olive Young Korea's, confirmed 2026-09-04. The brand states non-comedogenic and easy-wash (single-cleanse removable) human application testing were only additionally completed in 2025 — years after the product's original launch — so older unopened stock may predate that testing.

| Renewal history | 2020-03-16: Reformulated to a 100% zinc-oxide mineral (무기자차) filter system as part of a brand-wide "zinc mineral suncare" line launch, per a Cosin Korea trade-press report. An older third-party ingredient-decoder listing (inkeedecoder.com) shows a different formula that also includes Titanium Dioxide and several fragrance-oil ingredients not present in the current disclosure — that appears to reflect a pre-2020 formula and does not match either Olive Young Korea's or Olive Young Global's current live ingredient disclosure (both checked 2026-09-04). |

Is the Korean version of Dr.G's Green Mild Up Sun Plus different from the export version?
No known difference — Olive Young Global's own "Specific Item Info" ingredient disclosure lists the exact same declared-ingredient order as Olive Young Korea's mandatory disclosure, with Zinc Oxide as the sole active UV filter in both (a 100% mineral/무기자차 formula since a 2020 brand reformulation), sold as a standalone 50mL bottle for US$32.00 on Olive Young Global, cross-checked 2026-09-04.
Is it non-comedogenic tested?
Yes — the brand states non-comedogenic and easy-wash (single-cleanse-removable) human application testing were additionally completed in 2025 (brand-stated, Olive Young Q&A answer dated 2026-08-21, checked 2026-09-04).

No — the brand states it has no waterproof function; for swimming or water exposure it points customers to a separate product, its "Vita Clear Waterproof Sun Stick" (brand-stated, Olive Young Q&A answer dated 2026-08-11, checked 2026-09-04).
What is the minimum age for using this sunscreen?
The brand states it is usable from age 4, while recommending a patch test first given children's more sensitive and individually variable skin (brand-stated, Olive Young Q&A answer dated 2026-08-07, checked 2026-09-04).
Is Dr.G a Korean brand?
Korean-founded, now foreign-owned — Dr.G was founded in Korea in 2003 by dermatologist Ahn Gun-young under Gowoonsesang Cosmetics, but L'Oréal Groupe announced its acquisition of Gowoonsesang Cosmetics in December 2024, making the brand's parent company French; this page covers the version sold in Korea, checked 2026-09-07.
