OBGE Active Sweat-Proof Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++
OBGE's Active Sweat-Proof Sun Cream is a hybrid (organic + inorganic filter) SPF50+ PA++++ sunscreen built around a patented "Wet Boosting" technology that the brand says strengthens the sunscreen film as it gets wet with sweat; sold at Olive Young Korea for ₩22,500 (50ml, as low as ₩17,010 on sale), checked 2026-09-04. Olive Young Global sells the identical formula under the same name, "OBgE Active Sweat-Proof Sun Cream," for US$20.68 on sale — its full ingredient disclosure matches the Korean listing exactly, filter for filter, and lists "Adapt Inc." as the responsible distributor (matching OBGE's corporate entity). The brand advises that if sweat is heavy enough to be wiped away repeatedly with a towel, the sunscreen should be reapplied for effective protection — the "gets stronger the more it's wet" claim is not a substitute for reapplication after the product itself is physically removed.

Is the Korean version of OBGE's Active Sweat-Proof Sun Cream different from the export version?
No known difference — Olive Young Global sells the same product under the identical name, "OBgE Active Sweat-Proof Sun Cream 50ml," and its full ingredient disclosure lists the exact same declared-ingredient order as Olive Young Korea's, including all five UV filters (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Titanium Dioxide), at US$20.68 on sale, cross-checked 2026-09-04.
If sweating makes the UV protection stronger, does that mean I don't need to reapply after heavy sweating?
Not quite — the brand explains the product uses a patented "Wet Boosting" technology so the sunscreen film strengthens as it gets wet with sweat, and is designed to hold up during outdoor activity or exercise (also touted as sand/sweat/activity "triple-proof"). However, if a large amount of sweat is repeatedly wiped away with a towel and physically removes the product, the brand recommends reapplying for effective UV protection (brand-stated, Olive Young Q&A answer dated 2026-07-14, checked 2026-09-04).
