Common questions

Is COSRX Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 Aloe fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Fragrance") is the 28th of 46 ingredients.

Does COSRX Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 Aloe contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol, a drying alcohol, is the 11th of 46 ingredients, lower down the list, so it is likely a smaller amount. It also contains c14-22 alcohols and cetearyl alcohol: fatty alcohols that soften and thicken the formula and aren't drying.

Is COSRX Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 Aloe safe for fungal acne?

It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (stearic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate, peg-100 stearate). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
