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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

. 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.

4. Gently pat with your fingertips to encourage rapid absorption and achieve a seamless, radiant finish.
5. Apply at least 15 to 20 minutes prior to sun exposure.
6. Reapply every 2 to 3 hours during prolonged sun exposure, or immediately after excessive sweating, towel drying, or swimming.
Caution

* In the event of rash, swelling, or persistent irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
