Chapters

Can we get Korean sunscreen in America now? Ah, very good question, little one. So Innisfree is a Korean brand, but when people say Korean sunscreens, they're often referring to the Korean filters which are not available in America. So this is a little bit misleading because yes, it's a Korean brand, but it's not a Korean filter. That doesn't take away though, on how amazing this product is. So Innisfree's daily UV defense sunscreen is an SPF 36, but it's the classic active filters in the US that are available avobenzone homosylate up to salate. It doesn't have, for example, tinnitus absorb n which is often used abroad. And this one is a mineral sunscreen. So I would test them out and see how you like them. It is from a Korean brand, but it's not a Korean filter. The more you know, let me know if you have any questions below.
