Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++ 10ml / 50ml

Product Maker says: Rice has played a very important role as a staple food and skin care ingredient in Korean history. In the Joseon Dynasty, rice bran water was used like the toner of today, and was called Beauty Water, used for beautiful skin. Rice bran is rich in amino acids and minerals, helping to moisturise dry skin.Relief Sun is a lightweight and creamy type organic sunscreen that's comfortable on skin. Even if you apply a large amount several times, it is not sticky and gives a moist finish like that of a light moisturising cream. Containing 30% rice extract and grain fermented extracts, it provides moisture and nourishment to the skin. It is similar to a light moisturising cream, and it is not sticky or slippery even if you apply it several times. After absorption, it provides a natural glow without a white cast. Even if you apply a large amount before makeup, it does not clump or get cakey. Rice and grain fermented extracts are rich in vitamins B, C, E, amino acids, and minerals which help to moisturise dry skin and comfortably calm the skin.

Nat says: Beauty of Joseon launched in 2017 and is a favourite in Korea. The brand focus on products made from herbal ingredients that have been used since the Joseon Dynasty. Korean medicine ingredients have been consumed as medicinal herbs and food for a long time, and they are also excellent skincare ingredients. The brand says “whenever we make a new skincare product, we think about suitable herbal ingredients for each skin type and combine modern ingredients that create the most synergy to make a great product with the intent of giving a present”. This is a gold star product for me. One of those sunscreens that I could happily use as a moisturiser, which doesn’t feel thick or heavy. Perfect for the cooler months when you still need sun protection but not a heavy duty offering. I’ve read that this product has been formulated to cleanse off easily, so for that reason I wouldn’t wear it as my “I’m going out for a 2 hour hike” sunscreen as I don’t feel that it would withstand sweat.
