Unfortunately due to regulations by Health Canada we are unable to offer any Korean sunscreen or SPF products to Canadian customers.

Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?
Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?
Korean beauty brands update their formulas and packaging regularly - sometimes several times a year - and these changes often happen faster than we can update every listing. We do our best to keep product pages current, but what you receive may have a newer formulation or updated packaging. The core product and its function remain the same. If you'd like to verify what's currently in stock before ordering, reach out to us at info@kbeauti.ca and we'll confirm for you.
