The best Korean sunscreens of 2026 – find the best sunscreen for your – Yeppo&Soonsoo Sweden

You have probably already heard many arguments for why you should use sunscreen every day - not just at the beach.

UV radiation is moderately strong in Sweden as early as spring, and in summer, radiation exceeds the risk threshold already in the morning. UV rays also penetrate cloud cover, so sunscreen is needed even when it is cloudy.

Fortunately, the selection of sunscreens is now extensive, and you don't have to use thick, white pastes to protect yourself from the sun. Korean sunscreens in particular are pleasantly lightweight and work beautifully under makeup too! In Korea, using sunscreen is a normal part of everyday life, which is why the selection there is exceptionally good.
