Consumer Reports puts K-beauty sunscreens to the test
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Consumer Reports recently tested six Korean sunscreens from brands like Beauty of Joseon, Innisfree, and Round Lab to compare their effectiveness against U.S. versions. The results indicated that the Korean formulas provided superior protection, particularly against UVB rays, which cause sunburn. However, these products are not rated by Consumer Reports since they are not legally sold in the U.S. due to regulatory differences. The FDA has approved a new sunscreen ingredient, bemotrizinol, which could change the landscape of sunscreen options in the U.S. Meanwhile, top-rated U.S. sunscreens include Coppertone Water Babies Lotion SPF 50 and Eucerin Advanced Hydration Spray SPF 50.
