Your BOJ Sunscreens Guide: Choose Your Summer SPF

Making Summer Plans? Find Your Matching SPF

An easy-breezy guide to every BOJ sunscreen, for brunch plans, beach trips, and beyond.

It’s getting hot outside, and you’re probably re-evaluating your skincare routine. If you have travel on your calendar, you’re figuring out what can fit in that carry-on. If poolside naps and park picnics are more your speed, you’re trying to prevent a sunburn without SPF ruining your vibe.

At Beauty of Joseon, every sunscreen was designed with a different lifestyle, finish, and skin need in mind. Some are extra glowy. Some are ultra lightweight. Some are made to protect your body. Some are the kind you throw into every single bag you own because you can’t stop recommending them to your friends.

If you’ve been wondering which Beauty of Joseon sunscreen belongs in your carry-on or favorite bag this summer, here’s your official SPF guide. Once you’ve found your summer fave, remember to wear your SPF all year long!

Our Best SPF for the “One More Vacation Photo” Person: Relief Sun

You know the friend who somehow always looks glowy in candid photos? Relief Sun was made for them.

This iconic BOJ sunscreen is beloved on socials for a reason. The creamy texture melts into skin with zero white case, delivering hydrated, healthy-looking skin while still feeling lightweight. Rice extract and fermented grain extracts help nourish the moisture barrier while the dewy finish gives skin that effortless “I drink enough water and sleep eight hours” glow.

If your ideal vacation includes cafés, sightseeing, and golden hour outings with an Instagram story for each, Relief Sun is your SPF soulmate.

Our Best SPF for Tropical Weather: Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh

Humidity changes people, and Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh understands that.

This ultra-lightweight K-beauty sunscreen was basically designed for sticky weather, tropical vacations, and anyone who wants SPF protection without heaviness. The watery texture feels fresh immediately upon application, making it especially perfect for hot climates where your skincare routine needs to become less complicated.

If your vacation mood board includes scenic hikes, communing with nature, and the lightest clothes you can find, Aqua-Fresh belongs in your bag.

Our Best SPF for Sensitive Skin Days: Daily Relief Sunscreen

We’ve all been there: getting a little over ambitious with your time in the sun, looking in the mirror, and you’re completely red. You need to soothe and keep your skin safe from the sun (because the fun doesn’t need to end).

Daily Relief Sunscreen is the calming, comfortable Korean SPF you reach for when your skin needs things to feel easy. Lightweight and soothing, this formula supports skin with gentle hydration while delivering comfortable protection. It’s infused with rice extract for an extra boost of nutrients your skin is craving.

If you’re focusing your routine on all things gentle, reach for Daily Relief.

Our Best SPF for Glass Skin: Day Dew Sunscreen

If your summer goal is looking permanently dewy, rested, and like you’re always on vacation, Day Dew is ready.

This Beauty of Joseon dewy sunscreen delivers SPF 50 protection alongside a glow-enhancing finish that makes skin look smoother, glassier, and extra luminous. Ingredients like rice, niacinamide, and panthenol help support hydration and radiance, and of course, the texture is still lightweight and comfortable.

This is the SPF for beach clubs, poolside selfies, and anyone staying home but still trying to achieve that vacation glow with minimal effort.

Our Best SPF for Light Packers: Dayscreen Moisturizer SPF 30

Not into packing a 12-step skincare routine? You need one product that does it all (and does it well).

Dayscreen Moisturizer SPF 30 is our moisturizer-meets-SPF hybrid designed to do exactly that. This Beauty of Joseon SPF delivers lightweight hydration with a fresh, natural finish that layers beautifully under makeup without pilling.

The texture feels more like skincare than traditional sunscreen, and it can replace your moisturizer (save that room in your makeup bag)! Throw it in your bag for city trips and carry-ons that are already somehow overweight.

Our Best SPF for On-The-Go Touchups: Matte Sun Stick

Who wants to pull out a tube of sunscreen, get it on their hands, and rub it in when you’re in public? Not us. Matte Sun Stick makes it significantly easier. And it has some bonus perks.

This portable BOJ SPF glides onto skin with a smooth, soft-matte finish that helps absorb excess oil without disrupting makeup. It’s the sunscreen living permanently in your tote bag, ready for amusement parks, concert trips, long train rides, and every “wait, when did I reapply?” moment.

Our Best SPF for Family Trips: Comfort Protection Mineral Body Sun Lotion

Comfort Protection Mineral Body Sun Lotion SPF 40 feels like the skincare equivalent of fresh sheets and an iced drink before noon on the beach.

This soothing sun lotion was designed to feel gentle, comfortable, and refreshing on skin while still delivering reliable UV protection and 80-minute water resistance. The smooth finish makes it especially nice for sensitive or dry skin types looking for body SPF that feels calming instead of heavy.

It’s gentle enough for the whole family, so everyone can enjoy a sunscreen that doesn’t feel sunscreen-y and is up to tackling a beach day.

Our Best SPF for Full-Body Skincare: Hydra Shield Body Sun Lotion

Don’t neglect your bodycare routine just because you’re on vacation. Hydra Shield Body Sun Lotion SPF 50+ fits right into your plans.

It’s a weightless body lotion with SPF for hydrating UV protection with a fresh, healthy-looking glow that makes reapplication feel easy and rewarding. The non-sticky texture layers comfortably onto skin, while water resistance (up to 80 minutes!) helps it keep up with workouts, beach days, and sweaty travel.

The rest of your skin deserves the same care as your face, and Hydra Shield makes it simple, no matter what you’re up to this summer.

Our Best SPF for “No Makeup” Makeup Days: Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen

When you’re on vacation or just trying to make it to summer plans on time, you want your skin to look naturally even, fresh, and glowy with minimal effort.

Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen is our lightweight Beauty of Joseon tinted sunscreen that combines breathable SPF protection with sheer complexion-enhancing base coverage. The fluid texture blends seamlessly into skin while helping smooth the appearance of unevenness.

Vacation makeup bag space is limited. Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen understands that.

Our Best SPF for Skincare Maximalists: Ginseng Sun Serum

If you believe sunscreen should feel good and add to your skincare routine, Ginseng Sun Serum is probably already on your wishlist.

This serum-like Korean sunscreen combines UV protection with hydrating, glow-supporting skincare benefits thanks to nourishing ginseng extract and niacinamide. It’s silky, lightweight, and makes your SPF step feel less like an obligation and more like part of the ritual.

For the skincare lovers packing more serums than shoes, this one’s for you.

The best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually want to wear (and reapply). Whether you’re going for that daily natural glow or just trying to make your routine easier, BOJ has an SPF for you. And you can always rotate between your favorite Beauty of Joseon sunscreens depending on your mood, weather, and travel plans.

No matter where summer takes you, there’s a BOJ SPF ready to come along for the ride.
