Essences are a staple in Korean skin care, and are typically applied after toner as a liquid hydrating, nourishing product. But essences can also come in the form of skin care-packed sunscreen. Our new Essence Light Sunscreen provides broad spectrum SPF 50 protection in a lightweight ferment enriched formula that blends seamlessly into all skin tones for a hydrated and luminous complexion.
This must-have, year-round effortless essential features fermented sake extract to moisturize and help protect your skin from environmental stressors and a blend of ceramides, hyaluronic acid and provitamin B5 to leave skin with a dewy, radiant finish.
The skin-nourishing formula allows this barely-there chemical sunscreen to be worn alone or as a base for makeup application without pilling or cakiness. Pairs perfectly at the end of the day with our cult favorite Living Cleansing Balm to melt away sunscreen without stripping away skin of its moisture.

Ingredients We Love
GALACTOMYCES FERMENT FILTRATE Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (GFF) is a derivative of fermented sake that has proven skin care benefits, including reducing the appearance of pores, blackheads and sebum; decreasing levels of acne; and improving skin brightness.
CERAMIDES Ceramides are lipids that make up your skin’s natural barrier, helping it to retain moisture and protect it from any potential irritants. Applying ceramides topically fortifies the skin’s barrier so that your skin remains supple and healthy.
HYALURONIC ACIDHyaluronic Acid is known to deeply quench skin with vital hydration by attracting and binding water within the skin surface. It draws moisture into the skin for a plumper, more youthful appearance.
PROVITAMIN B5 Pantothenic acid (B5) is a humectant (moisturizing agent) that retains moisture in the skin, which improves skin elasticity and contributes to a fuller, more hydrated looking face.
