Pa RatingPA+++
Filter TypeChemical (avobenzone-based)

Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen is a chemical SPF40 PA+++ broad-spectrum sunscreen in a lightweight, dewy-finish tinted formula available in 12 shades. It combines UV filters (likely avobenzone/octinoxate derivative) with moisturizing humectants for a natural, blended appearance without white cast on most skin tones. The tint addresses one of K-beauty sunscreen's core promises: an elegant, skin-like finish that works as a primer or standalone base. At $0.10/ml, it undercuts most rivals by 50–70%, making it accessible for daily reapplication. However, the SPF40 rating and fragrance presence position it as a lightweight, cosmetic-first product rather than a performance benchmark—best for shade-conscious daily users prioritizing finish over maximum UVA/UVB density.
