COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream

COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream is a popular Korean skincare product designed to provide high-level UV protection while simultaneously hydrating the skin with aloe vera leaf extract. This product is a staple in the 'K-Beauty' category, known for its lightweight texture and soothing properties.

The COSRX brand was founded in South Korea in 2013, focusing on clean ingredients and effective solutions for sensitive or acne-prone skin. While the brand started as a local Korean sensation, it quickly gained global fame through viral popularity on social media platforms and distribution via major beauty retailers.

In terms of ownership, the brand underwent a significant transition when the South Korean beauty giant Amorepacific acquired a majority stake in COSRX. Following an initial investment in 2021, Amorepacific reached an agreement to fully acquire the remaining shares by late 2023 and 2024, solidifying COSRX as a key subsidiary in its global portfolio. The product continues to be manufactured primarily in South Korea to maintain its formulation standards.
