ROUND LAB Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++

The best-known and best-selling sunscreen in South Korea in recent years, ROUND LAB Birch Moisturizing Sun Cream has joined our "KORAL SECRETS" collection! This sunscreen contains anti-inflammatory birch extract and hyaluronic acid (HA), two key ingredients for minimizing the appearance of pores and providing hydration. The birch tree, often called the "queen of the forest," with abundant forest cover in Inje, accounts for more than 90% of the total forest area of this mountain village. In spring, before the leaves appear, the tree sap is collected through a small hole, obtaining a "white sap" that is rich in NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor) — a cocktail of elements that the skin naturally produces to keep its layers hydrated. Formulated with niacinamide, it will give your skin a radiant look while helping to fade hyperpigmentation and keep sebum under control. On the other hand, enrichment with purslane extract provides soothing benefits. As for sun protection, it offers SPF 50+, which means it blocks 98% of UVB rays from penetrating your skin, and PA++++ (high UVA protection, according to Korean standards). Formulated for all skin types.

Its formula is cruelty-free (not tested on animals), vegan, hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested and free of harmful or irritating ingredients such as: alcohol, parabens, silicones, sulfates, artificial fragrance.

How to use

Apply in the morning as the final step of your routine. Take an adequate amount and apply to the face, neck, décolletage, and any body area you deem necessary. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours to maintain protective effect. To remove leftover SPF filters from the sunscreen, double cleansing (oil cleanser followed by water-based cleanser) is recommended.

Brand

Founded in 2017, the Korean beauty brand ROUND LAB develops LAB skincare products using the best raw material research on uniquely sourced ingredients from various regions of Korea. The 1025 Dokdo series was ROUND LAB's first project, enriched with minerals from the deep ocean around Ulleungdo Island (the region that includes Dokdo Island). In addition, the raw materials used in these product series are EWG-certified as green and safe ingredients. (EWG is a non-profit organization that evaluates the safety of cosmetic raw materials and provides accurate information to consumers.) The Dokdo Line became one of ROUND LAB's most popular series; the initial group of six products launched in 2018 achieved strong first-release sales and later expanded into stores such as Watsons in South Korea. According to ROUND LAB, while many cosmetic brands source raw materials worldwide to obtain high-quality ingredients, ROUND LAB aims to produce higher-quality, more meaningful products by researching uniquely sourced raw materials grown in different parts of Korea.
