Goodal Clear Houttuynia Soothing Moisture Sun Cream

What is this product?

If you came looking for a mineral sunscreen, this is not one: a retailer tags it 무기자차 and the filter list flatly contradicts that.

What makes it different?

Inside its own line this is the plain 수분 (moisture) version, the one without the 톤업 (tone-up) sibling's tint claim. Across the category what distinguishes it is a split between the label and the shop floor: its filter chemistry and SPF/PA rating are legally disclosed and checkable, while a retailer's marketing language describes them wrongly and adds a sensitive-skin tag that the product's own all-skin-types label field does not support.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 5 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. 2 of them hold up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
