Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Niacinamide (SPF50+ PA++++)

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Niacinamide (SPF50+ PA++++)—formerly labeled as Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++)—is a lightweight, creamy organic (chemical) sunscreen that feels like a soothing daily moisturizer rather than a heavy sunblock.

Important Variant & Packaging Note: Beauty of Joseon officially updated the product title on new production runs from Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics to Relief Sun: Rice + Niacinamide to better reflect global cosmetic labeling standards while keeping the beloved formula 100% unchanged. Our 50ml variant comes in the new Relief Sun: Rice + Niacinamide (SPF50+ PA++++) packaging, while our 10ml mini variant comes in the previous Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++) packaging.

Formulated with 30% Rice Extract and grain fermented extracts, this daily sun cream delivers rich moisture and vital nourishment to the skin. Even when applied generously multiple times a day, it leaves zero sticky residue and absorbs with a fresh, natural glow. It glides smoothly across the skin without leaving a white cast and creates a hydrated, supple canvas that layers seamlessly under foundation and base makeup.

How It Works & Key Benefits

• Photostable Broad-Spectrum UV Filtering: Utilizes four modern, next-generation chemical UV filters to absorb and neutralize UVA and UVB rays without breaking down in sunlight or irritating sensitive eyes.

• Deep Hanbang Moisture Replenishment: 30% Rice Extract and Glycerin flood the upper layers of the skin with amino acids and humectants, preventing daytime dehydration and tightness.

• Barrier & Microbiome Support: Fermented rice, pumpkin, kelp, and soybean filtrates deliver soothing postbiotics and antioxidants that calm UV-induced redness and strengthen compromised skin barriers.

• Radiance & Tone Refinement: Niacinamide and Adenosine work together to brighten dullness, fade post-blemish marks, and maintain smooth, plump skin elasticity.

Core Active Ingredients & What They Do

• Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract (30%) & Rice Germ Extract: Rich in antioxidants, vitamins B, C, and E, and essential amino acids that deeply moisturize, calm inflammation, and restore natural luminosity.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A multi-corrective active that brightens uneven skin tone, minimizes pore appearance, balances oil production, and strengthens ceramide synthesis in the skin barrier.

• Grain Ferment Complex (Lactobacillus/Rice Ferment, Monascus/Rice Ferment, Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate, Aspergillus Ferment): Fermented grain bio-actives rich in vitamins, amino acids, and minerals that soothe irritation and nourish the skin's protective barrier.

• Next-Generation Chemical UV Filters:

  • Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (Uvinul A Plus): Provides high-efficiency, photostable UVA protection against photo-aging.

  • Ethylhexyl Triazone (Uvinul T 150): Offers high-absorption, water-resistant UVB defense against sunburn.

  • Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (Tinosorb M): A broad-spectrum hybrid filter protecting against both UVA and UVB rays.

  • Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone (Iscotrizinol / Uvasorb HEB): Highly photostable UVB and UVA2 filter.

• Panax Ginseng Root & Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extracts: Potent botanical antioxidants that combat free radical damage triggered by UV exposure and environmental pollution.

• Adenosine & Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Support collagen integrity, smooth fine lines, and protect skin lipids from oxidative stress.

Formula Feel/Absorption/Finish

• Feel: Silky, lightweight lotion-cream texture that feels indistinguishable from a gentle hydrating moisturizer.

• Absorption: Absorbs rapidly within 1 minute of gentle patting without leaving a heavy, oily, or sticky film.

• Finish: Fresh, natural, moist glow with zero white cast or grey tint on any skin tone.

Skin Barrier & Surface Finish

• Skin Barrier: Actively supports barrier health with rice-derived amino acids, fermented postbiotics, and Niacinamide, preventing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) throughout the day.

• Surface Finish: Smooth, plump, and non-pilling; preps the skin surface so makeup adheres evenly without caking or separating.

Skin Type

• Dry & Dehydrated Skin: Provides lasting moisture without clinging to dry patches.

• Normal & Combination Skin: Balances hydration and comfort across both dry cheeks and oilier T-zones.

• Sensitive & Acne-Prone Skin: Free from fragrance, essential oils, and pore-clogging heavy waxes.

Concerns Solved

• Daily UVA and UVB sun damage and photo-aging

• Dryness, tightness, and flakiness under daytime sunscreens

• Dullness and uneven skin tone

• White cast, pilling, and eye stinging from conventional sunblocks

• Compromised or easily irritated skin barriers

Texture

Lightweight, soft cream lotion that transforms into a watery, fast-sinking veil upon application.
