Verdict Should you buy it?

Mint-green tone-up essence with a six-filter blend spanning octinoxate, zinc oxide, bemotrizinol, uvinul A plus, uvinul T 150, and titanium dioxide. Broad, modern UV coverage is undercut by high ethanol, fragrance, three citrus extracts, methylparaben, and a dual PEG castor oil load.

Pros
  • Six-filter blend including Tinosorb S and uvinul A plus
  • Mint green tone-up neutralizes redness
  • Disodium ascorbyl sulfate for tone support
  • Sodium hyaluronate and jojoba seed oil included
  • Light essence finish
Cons
  • High ethanol content
  • Fragrance plus yuzu, lime, and lemon extracts
  • Methylparaben preservative present
  • BHT and PEG castor oils stacked in the base

Who it's for: Resilient skin wanting a green-cast tone-up with broad modern filter coverage; not for fragrance-, citrus-, or paraben-averse users.

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.
Essence
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.
