7 Must-Know Facts About BOJ Sunscreens 
for Your Best Skin

  • By Vickie Le

Beauty of Joseon sunscreens have gained immense popularity among K-beauty enthusiasts. As SPF experts, we combine in-depth knowledge of sun protection with the power of traditional Korean Hanbang ingredients to create formulas you'll genuinely love wearing every day.

Our sunscreens go beyond simple UV protection; they are designed to support your overall skin goals and fit perfectly into your routine. Here are some facts and secrets about our best-selling sunscreens:

 

1. Hanbang is at the Core of Our SPF Philosophy

We believe the right sunscreen should nourish your skin and enhance your self-care ritual. As a brand rooted in Hanbang, we infuse our sunscreens with natural ingredients from traditional Korean medicine to support skin health.

Our Relief Sun and Day Dew feature rice water for a timeless, glowing complexion.

The Matte Sun Stick is formulated with antioxidant-rich green tea to nourish and soothe.

 

2. Real Skincare Benefits in Every Formula

Tired of sunscreens that feel heavy or clog pores, we developed our lineup to feel like an extension of your existing skincare. Alongside our Hanbang heroes, we use innovative Korean skincare technology, adding effective ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol, and a specialized Sebum Control Complex in our Matte Sun Stick, ensuring skin-loving benefits with every application.

 

3. Relief Sun Was Created to Globalize Korean Sunscreen

Our best-selling Relief Sun is the product that converts "SPF skeptics" into daily users. Its texture mimics a favorite moisturizer—not the heavy, greasy feel you might be used to. It leaves no white cast, no greasy finish, and offers a beautiful, glowy finish. We launched this product specifically to introduce the world to the next-level possibilities of comfortable, effective Korean sunscreen.

 

4. Matte Sun Stick's Star Ingredients Are Also Culinary Favorites

Ingredients found in Hanbang and our skincare often overlap with traditional Korean food. The Matte Sun Stick contains green tea and mugwort. Mugwort, known for its natural soothing and cooling properties, is a popular ingredient in Korean desserts and beverages. We utilize it as a star ingredient in our travel-friendly stick, making it perfect for reactive or overheated skin.

 

5. We Have a Sunscreen for Every Skin Need

Skin needs are dynamic, changing daily and seasonally. Our sunscreen wardrobe is designed to offer a perfect match, whether you seek a dewy, matte, or ultra-light finish.

Dry to Normal Skin: Relief Sun and Day Dew offer necessary moisture without feeling greasy.

Oilier Skin: The Matte Sun Stick uses mugwort to soothe while the oil control complex keeps shine at bay.

Extra Lightweight: Choose the Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh formula.

Mature/Tired Skin: The Ginseng Moist Sun Serum provides deep nourishment.

 

6. Day Dew is the Ultimate Makeup Prep

If Relief Sun is the classic, Day Dew is its lighter, dewier counterpart. Packed with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and panthenol, it feels like a high-performance moisturizer. It gives skin a plump, bouncy, lit-from-within glow and has been extensively tested to ensure it doesn't pill or crease under liquid, cream, or cushion foundations, making it the perfect makeup base. It is also noncomedogenic.

 

7. We Formulate for Year-Round Use

Sun damage isn't just a summer concern. Damaging UVA rays are consistently strong throughout the year and can even be reflected by snow. Our sunscreens are developed for seamless, 365-day integration into your routine: Relief Sun melts into skin, Matte Sun Stick is easy for touch-ups, and Day Dew gives a radiant finish, ensuring your skin is protected no matter the season.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes Beauty of Joseon sunscreens different from others?

BOJ sunscreens are rooted in Hanbang (traditional Korean medicine), combining modern SPF filters with nourishing, time-tested natural ingredients (like rice water, green tea, and mugwort). This approach ensures they provide sun protection while also offering real skincare benefits and comfortable textures.

2. Do the sunscreens leave a white cast or feel greasy?

No. Products like the best-selling Relief Sun are famous for their texture, which is closer to a light moisturizer. They are formulated to leave zero white cast, avoid a greasy finish, and are often praised for leaving a natural, glowy look.

3. Which BOJ sunscreen is best for oily or shiny skin?

The Matte Sun Stick is the recommended MVP for oilier skin types. It is formulated with antioxidant-rich green tea and mugwort to soothe, along with a specialized Oil Control Complex to keep shine at bay without drying out the skin.

4. Can I wear these sunscreens under makeup?

Yes, particularly the Day Dew sunscreen. It is designed to be the ultimate makeup primer, leaving a plump, bouncy, and radiant finish. It has been tested to ensure it does not pill or cause creasing when worn under liquid, cream, or cushion foundations, and it is noncomedogenic.

5. Why are Hanbang ingredients like rice water and mugwort included?

These ingredients are included to provide skincare benefits beyond sun protection.

Rice water (in Relief Sun and Day Dew) helps deliver a time-honored glow and moisture.

Mugwort (in Matte Sun Stick) offers natural soothing and cooling properties, perfect for reactive or overheated skin.

6. Are these sunscreens only meant for summer use?

No, our sunscreens are developed for year-round use. Damaging UV rays, especially UVA rays (which cause long-term aging), are equally strong regardless of the season and can even reflect off surfaces like snow. Our comfortable formulas are designed to seamlessly fit into your regular skincare routine every day of the year.
