Verdict Should you buy it?

An invisible matte chemical formula with older homosalate, octocrylene, and octisalate plus avobenzone stabilized by ethylhexyl methoxycrylene. Methyl methacrylate crosspolymer and isododecane deliver the matte, blurring finish.

  • Fragrance-free and free of denatured alcohol
  • Avobenzone stabilized by ethylhexyl methoxycrylene
  • Asiaticoside and madecassic acid for soothing support
Cons
  • Homosalate, octocrylene, octisalate raise EDC concerns
  • PA+++ UVA strength trails the PA++++ peers in this lineup
  • Volatile silicone base may not suit very dry skin

Who it's for: Oily or combination skin wanting an invisible matte finish, willing to accept older chemical filters in exchange for the texture.

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.
Cream
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.
