Verdict Should you buy it?

A simple TiO2-only mineral SPF38 milk with sodium hyaluronate, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, and a perilla extract. Fragrance- and alcohol-free in a Miffy-branded family-friendly package; SPF38 falls below the daily SPF50 standard, and single-filter UVA coverage is narrower.

Pros
  • Mineral-only TiO2, no chemical filters
  • Sodium hyaluronate hydrator
  • Dipotassium glycyrrhizate for soothing
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Family-friendly Miffy packaging
Cons
  • SPF38 sits below daily SPF50 expectations
  • TiO2 alone has narrower UVA reach
  • Mineral finish risks white cast

Who it's for: Buyer wanting a simple mineral milk for family or sensitive-skin use, willing to trade SPF50 for a shorter, gentler ingredient list.

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.
Mineral
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Milk
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.
Yes
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.
