CHOROK CHORONG VEGAN HERB NON-NANO JEJU PEPPERMINT TONE-UP SUNSCREEN

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-29

What is this product?

A 50 mL Korean vegan-positioned mineral sunscreen, SPF50+ PA++++, with a natural pink tone-up tint. Zinc oxide is the only UV filter entry, second in a 49-entry list that also carries two iron oxides, peppermint leaf water, six herb extracts and eight hyaluronate-family entries. A fragrance entry is present. The brand prints a human-use SPF and UVAPF report and a non-nano particle test, but its 25-name free-from list includes disodium EDTA, which the ingredient list prints. No exfoliating acid; the acid-named entries are polyhydroxystearic and hyaluronic acid forms.

What makes it different?

A zinc-oxide-only sunscreen in a paper tube with a natural pink tone-up and a printed particle-size test, whose mean size result was measured in water. The free-from list is contradicted by disodium EDTA at 32, so the ingredient list, not the free-from banner, is the dependable part.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.
