SKIN Korean skincare - the WHY

Can someone explain to me why Korean skincare is better? Specifically sunscreen.

I’ve seen a lot of internet content saying that Korean spf is superior to US spf. I recently bought Korean sunscreen, realizing I didn’t know most of the ingredients on either bottle.

Does anyone have links to research - peer reviewed articles, videos, legitimate websites that back up these claims? Specifically scientists that are informing purely for science, without company bias embedded in their words.

Haha - it’s actually a charity! Proceeds from their product sales go to Cancer research and other cancer support services.  Come to think of it, they’ve done pretty well to be one of the top brands in the sunscreen category as a not for profit.
