Real Barrier Cica Green Tone-up Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++

Real Barrier's Cica Green Tone-up Sun Cream (SPF50+ PA++++, 50ml) uses a single mineral UV filter — Zinc Oxide, with no organic/chemical filters — per the brand's own official ingredient disclosure (myrealbarrier.co.kr, checked 2026-09-04); this is a different filter system from Real Barrier's own Cera Moisture Barrier Sun Cream, which uses four organic filters and no mineral ones. Chromium Oxide Greens, named in the product title, is disclosed at rank 35 of 35 in the full ingredient list. It sells for ₩20,500 (29% off a ₩29,000 list price) on Real Barrier's own site; Olive Young Korea's own listing could not be independently checked (oliveyoung.co.kr returned a Cloudflare hold page after repeated retries), but the identical product is sold through Olive Young's own official international storefront, Olive Young Global, and via K-beauty import retailers YesStyle and Beauty Box Korea, with no separately reformulated export version found (checked 2026-09-04). It is a registered functional cosmetic under Korean law for three claims — UV protection, whitening, and wrinkle improvement — per the brand's own official product-info disclosure page, though the specific MFDS notice/report number is not published there.

Is the Korean version of Real Barrier's Cica Green Tone-up Sun Cream different from what's sold outside Korea?

No confirmed reformulation was found. The identical formula — a single mineral UV filter, Zinc Oxide, and no organic/chemical filters, per the brand's own official ingredient disclosure — is sold through Olive Young's own official international storefront, Olive Young Global, under the identical product name; its customer reviews are pulled directly from Olive Young Korea's own listing (8 Korean reviews, 0 separately-collected global reviews, checked 2026-09-04), indicating it is the same listing rather than a reformulated export SKU. It is also exported as-is through K-beauty import retailers such as YesStyle and Beauty Box Korea (checked 2026-09-04).

Does this sunscreen use physical (mineral) or chemical (organic) UV filters?

Physical/mineral only — Zinc Oxide is the sole UV filter in the brand's own official ingredient disclosure, with no Titanium Dioxide or any organic/chemical filter listed (checked 2026-09-04). This differs from Real Barrier's own Cera Moisture Barrier Sun Cream, which uses four organic/chemical filters and no mineral filter at all.
