Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++

Round Lab's 1025 Dokdo Sun Cream is a SPF50+ PA++++ daily sunscreen built on five organic/hybrid UV filters, several not universally FDA-approved: Ethylhexyl Triazone, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid (Mexoryl SX), Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (Uvinul A Plus), Polysilicone-15 (Parsol SLX), and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (Tinosorb S). Unlike its Round Lab stablemate Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream, whose US market gets a separately reformulated "UV Lock SPF45" with FDA-monograph filters, Dokdo Sun Cream appears to export as the identical Korea formula — same ingredient order and SPF/PA rating — via Olive Young Global, YesStyle, and Jolse, with no distinct US reformulation found. Its "non-comedogenic" marketing claim rests on Round Lab's own in-house testing, not a third-party certification, per the brand's own Olive Young Q&A clarification. (Checked: 2026-09-04)

Specifications

Is it OK for sensitive skin?

Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: no fragrance listed; no labeled fragrance allergens declared; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.

How much of the key actives does it contain?

Niacinamide: rank 6 of 47; Panthenol: rank 27 of 47; Adenosine: rank 31 of 47.

Can I buy it outside Korea?

International shipping: Olive Young Global, YesStyle, Jolse; Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea; Shipping scope unverified: Round Lab official site (roundlab.co.kr); Global price: US$28.00 (export retailers, e.g. YesStyle/Jolse list price before discount).

Is the Korean version of Round Lab's 1025 Dokdo Sun Cream different from the export version?

No known difference — an export retailer's (YesStyle) English ingredient list matches the Korea Olive Young listing's own INCI disclosure item-for-item, including all 5 UV filters (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid/Mexoryl SX, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate/Uvinul A Plus, Polysilicone-15/Parsol SLX, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine/Tinosorb S) in the same order, plus the same SPF50+ PA++++ rating. This differs from its Round Lab stablemate Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream, whose US market gets a separately-reformulated "UV Lock SPF45" with FDA-monograph filters — no equivalent renamed/reformulated US version of Dokdo Sun Cream was found (checked 2026-09-04).

Is Round Lab's 1025 Dokdo Sun Cream certified non-comedogenic?

No third-party non-comedogenic certification is shown on the listing. Round Lab's own Olive Young Q&A clarifies that the "non-comedogenic" marketing claim is based on the brand's in-house non-comedogenic test rather than an independent certification — a customer had pointed out an earlier brand answer instead cited a German Dermatest recognition, which this follow-up answer superseded (brand-stated, 2026-04-10, checked 2026-09-04).

Does the 1025 Dokdo Sun Cream protect against blue light or photoaging?

Round Lab's brand Q&A states it cannot claim blue-light protection because no clinical trial has established a blue-light-blocking effect for this product (brand-stated, 2026-03-05, checked 2026-09-04).

Does it use reef-toxic UV filters like oxybenzone or avobenzone?

No — Round Lab's brand Q&A confirms the formula was developed specifically excluding Oxybenzone and Avobenzone, filters flagged for coral-reef toxicity and systemic-absorption concerns (brand-stated, 2026-07-22, checked 2026-09-04).

Is it vegan?

No vegan certification mark was found on either the Olive Young KR listing or Round Lab's own store; some export retailers describe it as formulated without animal-derived ingredients, but that is not an independent certification (checked 2026-09-04).
