Collection: Sunscreen
Korean sunscreen is loved for its light textures: creams and serum-like formulas that feel closer to a moisturizer than to a classic sunscreen, so they are easier to wear every single day. Our four sunscreens are all SPF 50+, shipped from Switzerland with prices in CHF.
Our selection: Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++), SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum (SPF50+ PA++++), and two Round Lab Birch sunscreens: the Birch Juice Moisturizing Tone-Up Sunscreen (SPF 50+ PA++++, with a subtle beige-pink tint) and the Birch Mild-Up Sunscreen UVLock (SPF 50+, described by the brand as a mineral formula).

FAQ
What does SPF50+ PA++++ mean?
SPF indicates the level of protection against UVB rays. PA is a rating used in Korea and Japan for UVA protection: the more plus signs, the higher the UVA protection. The values shown are the ones stated on each product.
Do I need sunscreen in winter in Switzerland?
UV exposure increases with altitude and snow reflects sunlight, so sunscreen is a good habit on ski days as well as in summer. Daily use is a simple way to build the habit.
Can I wear it under makeup?
Yes. All four are designed as the final skincare step before makeup. Let the sunscreen settle for a minute before applying makeup.
