Verdict Should you buy it?

Mineral-leaning hybrid stick with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide flanking octinoxate, DHHB, and bemotrizinol. The alcohol-free base, vitamin C derivatives, and rose hip oil cushion the formula, while added fragrance and lavender oil reintroduce irritation risk for reactive skin.

Pros
  • Alcohol-free formula
  • Mineral plus modern hybrid UV filter coverage
  • Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and ascorbyl dipalmitate included
  • Rose hip fruit oil adds emollient feel
  • Stick format suits portable reapplication
Cons
  • Contains fragrance and lavender oil
  • Mineral oils sit high in the INCI
  • Waxy stick payoff can pill under makeup
  • BHT present in the formula

Who it's for: Buyers wanting an alcohol-free tone-up stick with hybrid filters and willing to tolerate fragrance and lavender oil in exchange.

03 At-a-glance facts
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid blends both.
Hybrid
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Stick
Finish How the formula looks on skin once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Natural
Tinted Adds sheer pigment (iron oxides) that masks the white cast common to mineral filters and gives a skin-tone finish.
No
Fragrance-free No synthetic perfume added. Not FDA-defined in the US; the EU requires 'Parfum' + the 26 named allergens on the label. 'Unscented' differs — may contain masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Does not refer to fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which are emollients.
Yes
