Consumer Reports puts K-beauty sunscreens to the test
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Consumer Reports has tested six Korean sunscreens from popular brands Beauty of Joseon, Innisfree, and Round Lab, comparing them with their U.S. counterparts. The results indicated that the Korean formulations offered superior protection, particularly against UVB rays, which cause sunburn. The report highlights that these Korean sunscreens are not included in U.S. ratings due to regulatory differences, as the FDA treats sunscreens as drugs, complicating the approval of new ingredients. Recently, the FDA approved bemotrizinol, a new sunscreen ingredient, which may improve U.S. options. Meanwhile, Coppertone Water Babies Lotion SPF 50 and Eucerin Advanced Hydration Spray SPF 50 are highly rated in the U.S.
