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.
Mineral
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Cream
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.
Yes
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
Yes
Verdict Is it worth it?

Mineral-only formula (titanium dioxide) built for reactive skin: fragrance- and alcohol-free, with stearyl glycyrrhetinate, ceramide, squalane, and shea butter. SPF 22 is the trade-off — this is a daily indoor or low-exposure product, not a high-UV-day option.

Pros
  • Single-filter titanium dioxide system
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Ceramide, squalane, and shea butter for barrier support
  • Stearyl glycyrrhetinate adds anti-irritant cushion
  • Hyaluronic acid and tremella for hydration
Cons
  • SPF 22 is low for outdoor or peak-UV use
  • PA++ only covers basic UVA protection
  • Titanium-only base can leave a chalky cast

Who it's for: Sensitive or barrier-compromised skin needing a fragrance-free mineral primer for low-UV days or indoor wear; not enough for prolonged sun exposure.
