01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 100
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 86
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 38
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity plus how biodegradable the UV filters and surfactants are. 65
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, and how it actually feels on skin. 80

Octinoxate Legacy Older organic filter. Photostable in combination; some literature concerns.
Uvinul T 150 Modern Next-gen photostable filter; low irritation profile.

Bemotrizinol Modern Next-gen photostable filter; low irritation profile.
03 The facts, at a glance
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid runs both.
Hybrid
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Gel
Finish How it looks 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' is different — it can hide masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
No
Verdict Is it worth it?

A hybrid tone-up gel: octinoxate paired with Uvinul T 150, Uvinul A Plus, Bemotrizinol and titanium dioxide, in a dense polymer-silicone matrix. Ethanol, fragrance, royal jelly and BHT limit the sensitivity score.

Pros
  • Five-filter hybrid for full UVA/UVB coverage
  • Polymer-silicone gel gives a smooth, makeup-compatible finish
  • Silica and aluminum hydroxide soften any TiO2 cast
  • Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin for hydration
Cons
  • Ethanol sits high in the list
  • Fragrance and BHT included
  • Royal jelly may trigger bee-product allergies
  • TiO2 can leave a faint cast on deeper tones

Who it's for: Light-to-medium tones wanting a hybrid gel with subtle tone-up; avoid if reactive to ethanol, fragrance or bee-derived ingredients.
