Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing UVLOCK Sun 50ml
Sensitive Skin Won't Fight You On.
What It Is
ROUND LAB Birch Juice Moisturizing UVLock Sunscreen SPF45 Broad Spectrum is a lightweight, everyday sunscreen formulated to meet U.S. FDA OTC standards. It uses three chemical (organic) UV filters — no zinc oxide or titanium dioxide — to deliver full broad-spectrum UVA + UVB protection with zero white cast on any skin tone. Birch juice, niacinamide, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and allantoin keep skin hydrated and comfortable through the day, and the moisturizer-like texture layers cleanly under makeup. 50ml / 1.69 fl oz. Korea's #1 sunscreen, with over 20M sold worldwide and coverage in Elle, Vogue, Allure & NBC Select.
Active Ingredients (U.S. Drug Facts)
| Avobenzone 2.7% | Sunscreen — UVA Protection |
| Homosalate 13.5% | Sunscreen — UVB Protection |
| Octisalate 4.5% | Sunscreen — UVB Protection |
Use: Helps prevent sunburn. If used as directed with other sun protection measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.
Why Chemical Sunscreen? What That Means For Your Skin
- Zero white cast on every skin tone. Chemical filters absorb UV radiation and convert it into harmless heat. Unlike mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide), which sit on top of skin as visible reflective particles, chemical filters dissolve into the formula and dry completely clear — no chalky residue, no gray cast, no flashback in photos.
- Moisturizer-weight texture. Without mineral particles bulking up the formula, the texture stays fluid and spreads effortlessly, feeling more like a hydrating serum than sunscreen.
- Broad-spectrum coverage: UVA and UVB both blocked. Avobenzone covers UVA — the rays linked to premature aging and hyperpigmentation. Homosalate and Octisalate cover UVB — the rays that cause sunburn and DNA damage.
- Not the best fit for reactive or highly sensitive skin. Because chemical filters are absorbed into the skin to work, they can cause stinging or irritation in some sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin types. Mineral filters, which stay on the surface, are gentler for that group.
- Makeup-friendly from the first swipe. No white film means no interference with foundation or tinted moisturizer — it sets to a smooth base without pilling or sliding.
Chemical filters work by absorbing into skin, which can trigger stinging or irritation on reactive, post-procedure, or highly sensitive skin. For those customers, we recommend the Round Lab Birch Juice Mild-Up UVLOCK Sun 50ml — a 100% mineral (zinc oxide) sunscreen that sits on top of the skin and physically reflects UV rays rather than absorbing them, making it a gentler choice for reactive skin types.
The 3-Filter Broad-Spectrum System
The most widely used UVA filter in the US market. Covers the full UVA spectrum (320–400nm) — the wavelengths responsible for photoaging, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. Used here at near-maximum concentration.
A photostable UVB filter that also acts as a liquid solvent for other UV filters, helping them dissolve uniformly into the formula for a smoother, more consistent finish.
A lightweight UVB filter that also helps improve water resistance and stabilizes other UV filters in the formula, contributing to the lightweight, non-greasy texture.
All three active ingredients are FDA-approved for use in OTC sunscreen products and have been used safely in sunscreens for decades. This product is FDA-registered as an OTC drug.

Texture, Finish & Feel
Watery, hydrating consistency — spreads across skin in seconds without tugging or dragging.
No white cast, no chalky residue. Leaves a soft, hydrated glow rather than a matte or heavy finish.
Absorbs quickly and sets before foundation, without pilling, sliding, or breaking down mid-day.
Skincare Actives — Beyond the SPF
The signature ingredient of this line. Rich in minerals, enzymes, proteins, and antioxidants, it decreases inflammation, purifies, and hydrates skin.
Supports an even skin tone and strengthens the skin barrier, working alongside the sunscreen's UV protection to reduce future discoloration.
Humectants that draw and bind water into skin, keeping it soft and comfortable even on days when sunscreen is your only hydration step.
A gentle, well-tolerated ingredient that soothes skin and supports barrier repair, complementing the formula's overall calm, non-irritating profile.
How To Use
- Dry skin: This formula's moisturizer-like texture makes it a strong standalone hydrator plus SPF step.
- Sensitive or reactive skin: Chemical filters can sting on reactive or post-procedure skin — switch to the Mild-Up mineral version above if you fall in this group.
- Double cleanse at night: Chemical sunscreen actives are oil-soluble — use an oil cleanser or cleansing balm first, then follow with a water-based cleanser.
- Eye area: Keep away from eyes — chemical filters can sting on contact.
- AHA/BHA users: If you exfoliate with acids, this SPF is essential the next morning since freshly exfoliated skin is more vulnerable to UV damage.
