Verdict Should you buy it?

Older chemical filter system led by octinoxate and octocrylene, with avobenzone and Tinosorb S anchoring UVA. Fragrance- and alcohol-free with niacinamide and glutathione, but the EDC-flagged filter mix and tea tree extract limit the safety profile.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Niacinamide, glutathione, and centella in the base
  • Bemotrizinol stabilizes the UVA side
  • SPF 51 with PA++++ rating
  • Hyaluronic acid and squalane for hydration
Cons
  • Octinoxate is an endocrine-disruption-flagged filter
  • Octocrylene and avobenzone add EDC concerns
  • Tea tree leaf extract is a known allergen

Who it's for: Shoppers who prioritize hydrating support actives and don't avoid octinoxate or octocrylene; skip if you screen for EDC-flagged UV filters.

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.
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.
