Single-filter mineral (inorganic) sunscreen: Zinc Oxide is the only UV filter listed.

Is it OK for sensitive skin?
Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: fragrance is declared; no labeled fragrance allergens declared; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.
Can I buy it outside Korea?
International shipping: Olive Young Global (listed as Green Finger Forest Mild Calming Sun Cream); Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea; Global price: US$14-16 (varies by reseller, e.g. Allkmag; listed as "Green Finger Forest Mild Calming Sun Cream").
Is this a mineral or chemical (organic) sunscreen?
Mineral (inorganic) — Zinc Oxide is the only UV filter in the mandatory ingredient disclosure. Butyloctyl Salicylate also appears in the list but is an emollient/solubilizer, not a UV filter, checked 2026-09-04.
What does "파데프리" (foundation-free) mean for this product?
It markets the sun cream as wearable on its own as a base-makeup substitute, without a separate foundation layer — a Korean marketing term, not an added functional-cosmetic claim beyond UV protection, checked 2026-09-04.
Is the Korean version different from the export version?
No formulation difference found — Olive Young Global's "Green Finger Forest Mild Calming Sun Cream 80mL" (prdtNo GA230418171) publishes an ingredient list matching Olive Young Korea's disclosure item-for-item, under a different export brand label ("Green Finger Forest" rather than "Forest Seoul"), checked 2026-09-04.
Is the "Vegan" claim in the product name certified?
No third-party vegan certification mark was found for this product; it appears to be a self-declared formulation claim, checked 2026-09-04.
