How it works
The Therapy Vegan Sunscreen Stick SPF50+ PA++++ 18g is built around Glycerin, which is the formula's core humectant, drawing in moisture and helping every other ingredient spread evenly across the skin. It sits near the top of most Korean formulas for exactly this reason: it is the base hydration layer everything else in the formula builds on. The rest of the list is built to carry those ingredients evenly across the skin without a heavy finish. As a sunscreen, it is formulated for its own step in a Korean AM/PM routine, so it works with the rest of a layered routine instead of trying to replace it. Sourced for the Korean market, it is the same formula sold in Korea rather than a US-shelf substitute, with its intact Korean-market batch coding carried through.

Key actives
Palmitoyl Proline
Palmitoyl Proline is named on this stick's own ingredient list, a peptide ingredient Korean formulators include for its supportive, skin-conditioning character within a vegan-formulated stick.
Leontopodium Alpinum Extract
Leontopodium Alpinum Extract, edelweiss, is named on this list, a botanical THE FACE SHOP's vegan Therapy line reaches for as one of its signature plant-forward ingredients across the range.
Pot Marigold Flower Extract
Pot Marigold Flower Extract, calendula, sits on this list, a calming botanical Korean formulators commonly pair with edelweiss and other plant extracts in a vegan formula.
Barley Extract
Barley Extract is named further down this list, a grain-derived botanical Korean formulators reach for as part of a rounded, plant-forward ingredient set in vegan skincare.
When in a routine should I use this sunscreen?
Use it as the final AM step, every morning as the last step of the routine. Placing a sunscreen out of order is the most common reason a Korean routine feels like it is not working, so keep this one at its own step rather than doubling it up with a product built for a different stage. Give it a few weeks at that placement before judging the result.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This is the authentic Korean-market version of the formula, not a US-shelf substitute. THE FACE SHOP sells a separate reformulation on some US shelves, and this listing is not that version. The Korean-market batch coding and packaging travel with it, which is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
Where does this formula come from?
It comes from the Korean-market catalog rather than a US-shelf reformulation, and the packaging carries the same Korean-market batch coding a shopper would find on the box in Korea. That sourcing is checked on this row before the page is written, not assumed from the product name. It is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
What does Glycerin do in this formula?
Glycerin is the formula's core humectant, drawing in moisture and helping every other ingredient spread evenly across the skin. It sits near the top of most Korean formulas for exactly this reason: it is the base hydration layer everything else in the formula builds on. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
Who is this sunscreen best suited for?
It suits normal and combination skin, built around Glycerin for core humectant hydration. Skin that is actively reacting to a new active should introduce it gradually rather than starting at full frequency. Outside of that, it is formulated for daily use within a layered routine.
