The 10 Best

Korean Sunscreens

K-beauty is a leader within the skincare space thanks to its
use of advanced ingredients & innovative textures. But what is Korean Sunscreen
and how is it different from others?

For starters, there are
a lot more options available in Korea.
That’s mainly due to the difference in regulations there (and in Europe),
as compared to
here in the U.S.

Another key difference is how they’re rated. Korean sunscreens often use the PA (Protection Grade of UVA rays) system, which measures UVA exposure, as well as SPF, which measures UVB exposure.

For the most comprehensive protection, always look for the words “broad-spectrum,” or SPF and PA on a label, so you’re accounting for both UVA and UVB exposure.
