BEAUTY OF JOSEON Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen — Protection SPF40 teintée

First tinted sunscreen from Beauty of Joseon, this mineral formula is based on active ingredients designed to lighten your routine without compromise.

Zinc Oxide : the only active UV filter here, it offers broad-spectrum protection (UVB, UVA II, and UVA I) from the moment of application. Unlike chemical filters, this physical barrier acts immediately and remains stable under the sun—no waiting time needed.

Iron Oxides : these provide the 12 shades. But their role goes beyond camouflage: these mineral pigments filter up to 86% of blue light (HEV), which causes hyperpigmentation and premature aging. A protection often overlooked, yet well documented.

Butyloctyl Salicylate : this lightweight ester improves the dispersion of UV filters and stabilizes the formula. The result: a fluid, almost serum-like texture that glides on without the greasy feeling of traditional mineral sunscreens.

Plant-based emollients (Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, triglycerides): they compensate for the potential dryness of zinc and provide a satin finish, neither shiny nor matte. Artemisia Capillaris (Mugwort) complements with its soothing properties, a discreet but deliberate signature of the hanbang philosophy.

☀️ Morning routine

1. Cleanse your face (gel, oil, foam depending on your skin type)
2. Apply your toner then your usual serum
3. Moisturize with your day cream — wait 1-2 minutes for it to absorb
4. Shake the bottle well (5 to 10 times) to homogenize the mineral pigments
5. Press out the equivalent of two fingers of product and spread in thin layers over the entire face and neck
6. Blend with your fingers, a damp sponge, or a brush for an even result
7. Wait 5 minutes before applying makeup or a mattifying powder

🔄 Reapplication

Every two hours if exposed for a long time. Since the tint can build up, layer a transparent sunscreen from Beauty of Joseon (Relief Sun, Day Dew) or use an SPF mist for touch-ups.

Do you see yourself in one of these profiles?

• No-makeup makeup enthusiasts : you want sun protection AND a healthy glow effect, without layering multiple products. This 2-in-1 formula saves you 10 minutes in the morning.
• Sensitive or reactive skin : zinc oxide is known for its anti-irritant properties, ideal if chemical filters cause stinging or redness. 100% mineral formula, no added fragrance.
• Combination to oily skin : built-in sebum-regulating properties. The semi-matte finish controls shine in the T-zone without drying out the cheeks.
• Medium to dark skin tones : finally a range that doesn’t stop at 3 light shades. 8 of the 12 shades cover the medium-deep spectrum, with warm (P), neutral (N), and cool (Y) undertones.

Avoid if: very dry skin (then favor an ultra-hydrating base before application) or if you’re looking for high coverage — the coverage remains light, buildable but sheer.

Immediately: SPF 40 protection from the moment of application (benefit of mineral), even complexion without lines. Several users report a "skin in a bottle" sensation, almost invisible.

After 2-3 hours: the finish evolves from a slightly oily touch at application to a semi-matte powdery look. Oily skin types appreciate this gradual mattifying effect — one user confirms "my skin stays matte for hours, never seen that before for me."

Long term (4-6 weeks of daily use): prevention of photoaging thanks to broad spectrum + blue light. No miracle anti-aging promises, but a constant barrier against hyperpigmentation and loss of elasticity caused by UV. The vegan and cruelty-free formula fits into a clean routine, without animal-derived ingredients.

Is it a tinted skin product or a sunscreen?

Technically, it's a 100% mineral SPF 40 with added pigments. So protection first, coverage second — but the line is thin. Apply the recommended amount for sunscreen (equivalent to two fingers) even if it visually looks like a BB cream.

SPF 30 or SPF 40? I've seen both versions.

The US/global market shows SPF 40 (FDA-approved). The version sold at Boots UK is SPF 30 PA+++. Check the label on your bottle — both formulas exist depending on the distribution market.

Why shake before each use?

Mineral pigments (iron oxides, zinc) settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shaking 5-10 times ensures an even shade with each pump. Without that, you risk uneven or too light coverage.

Waterproof or not?

No, this formula is not waterproof. Be sure to reapply after every swim or heavy sweating. For the beach, prefer a water-resistant sunscreen as a base, then this version for face touch-ups.

Which shade to choose among the 12 available?

Beauty of Joseon offers an online quiz (Shade Finder) with photos and undertones. The codes: L (light), M (medium), D (deep) + P (peach/warm), N (neutral), Y (yellow/cool). Feedback confirms the quiz is reliable. The very sheer texture forgives small mistakes.

How does it differ from other BOJ sunscreens (Relief Sun, Day Dew)?

Relief Sun = chemical filter SPF50+, transparent, glowy finish. Day Dew = hybrid SPF30, moisturizing cream texture. This Daily Tinted Fluid = 100% mineral SPF40, tinted, semi-matte finish. Each meets a different need depending on your skin type and makeup use.

Launched in 2017, Beauty of Joseon draws inspiration from the Joseon dynasty (1392-1897), a prosperous era when court women used preparations made from rice, ginseng, and mulberry to preserve their complexion. The brand translates these hanbang rituals into modern, clinically tested formulas.

Its first blockbuster, the Dynasty Cream, laid the foundation: traditional Korean ingredients + ultra-sensorial textures. Then came the Relief Sun SPF50+ in 2021, which became a global TikTok phenomenon for its unprecedented lightness. Building on this success, the brand expanded its sun care range in February 2025 with the Daily Tinted Fluid — its first venture into tinted products, boldly launching with 12 shades, whereas most brands offer only 3 or 4.

This product also won the “Best Breakthrough Hybrid Product” award at the 2025 Beauty Matter Awards, recognizing its innovation in formulation and category. 100% vegan, cruelty-free, formulated in Seoul.

Complete INCI: Zinc Oxide (broad-spectrum mineral UV filter), Water, Butyloctyl Salicylate (SPF dispersing agent), Isopropyl Myristate, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (plant-based emollients), Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Ethylhexyl Isononanoate, Denatured Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate, Iron Oxides (CI 77492, CI 77491, CI 77499) (mineral pigments for tint + blue light protection), Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables (olive extract emollient), Artemisia Capillaris Extract (mugwort, anti-inflammatory), Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol (humectants), Polyglycerin-6, Tocopherol (antioxidant vitamin E).

Breakdown: Short formula for a mineral sunscreen. The emollient base (plant oils) compensates for the sometimes chalky texture of zinc. The denatured alcohol allows quick evaporation and a dry finish — tolerated here due to low concentration, buffered by humectants. No synthetic fragrance, no chemical filters, no irritating essential oils.

The zinc + iron oxides combination is clinically proven for broad protection against UV and visible light, reducing the risks of melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
