UIQ Biome Remedy Waterproof Sun Cream
UIQ's Biome Remedy Waterproof Sun Cream is a chemical-filter SPF50+/PA++++ sun cream sold at Olive Young Korea for ₩27,000 (₩18,360 on sale, 32% off) as a standalone 50ml tube, checked 2026-09-04 — unlike its sibling Tone-up Sun Cream, this version carries no titanium dioxide tint and instead leans on Drometrizole Trisiloxane (Mexoryl XL) as an additional stabilizing filter. All four of its UV filters — Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, and Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol — are not FDA-approved. Olive Young Global lists an apparently identical "UIQ Biome Remedy Waterproof Sun Cream 50ml," but its ingredient panel loads via client-side JavaScript that couldn't be scraped for a direct comparison, so an exact ingredient-level match with the Korea formula isn't confirmed.

Is the Korean version of UIQ's Biome Remedy Waterproof Sun Cream different from the export version?
Not confirmed either way — Olive Young Global lists an apparently identical "UIQ Biome Remedy Waterproof Sun Cream 50ml," but its ingredient panel is rendered by client-side JavaScript that couldn't be extracted for a direct comparison against Olive Young Korea's own disclosure, checked 2026-09-04. None of its four UV filters (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol) are FDA-approved.
Does it contain the same "Biome Remedy" probiotic ingredient as the Tone-up Sun Cream?
Yes, but at a much lower level — Cutibacterium Granulosum Ferment Filtrate is disclosed at 10ppm here versus 100ppm in the sibling Tone-up (Purple) cream's main formula, per Olive Young Korea's ingredient disclosure, checked 2026-09-04.
Is it actually waterproof?
No independently verified water-resistance test data (such as a disclosed 40- or 80-minute water-resistance rating) was found on Olive Young Korea, UIQ's official site, or Olive Young Global, checked 2026-09-04 — "waterproof" appears to be a marketing descriptor rather than a disclosed test result.
Is it vegan?
No vegan certification badge or certifying body was found on Olive Young Korea, Olive Young Global, or UIQ's official site (theuiq.com), checked 2026-09-04.
