Verdict Should you buy it?

An older US-style filter stack (homosalate, octocrylene, octisalate, avobenzone) packaged as a clear stick with multi-weight hyaluronic acid, copper tripeptide-1, and acetyl hexapeptide-8 for slip and skincare carryover.

  • Squalane-rich anhydrous base feels emollient
  • PA++++ for strong UVA protection at SPF 50
  • Stick format is portable for on-the-go touch-ups
Cons
  • Homosalate and octocrylene are older filters with EDC concerns
  • Octisalate plus homosalate raise health-safety questions
  • Anhydrous oil-and-wax base may feel heavy on oily skin

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a fragrance-free portable stick with peptide and hyaluronic acid support, accepting the older chemical filter set.

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.
Chemical
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.
Matte
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.
