Sunscreen with a passport: travelers hunt overseas SPF as a holiday souvenir

Travellers are turning sunscreen into a must‑have souvenir, flocking to foreign pharmacies and beauty shops to buy European and Asian formulas not available in the US. Driven by skincare trends, social media, and the appeal of authentic products, shoppers plan routes through Seoul, Paris, Greece and elsewhere, often bringing back dozens of bottles and treating the haul as memory, ritual, and practical skin protection.
