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

Hybrid gel built on zinc oxide and a modern organic filter set (Mexoryl XL, Uvinul T 150, Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb S) with no EDC-flagged actives. SPF 51 PA++++ with a light feel, but ethanol is the third ingredient and fragrance is present.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide plus four modern organic filters
  • No EDC-flagged UV actives
  • Gel texture wears light
  • Glycyrrhiza, rice ferment, and green tea in the soothing layer
  • SPF 51 with PA++++ rating
Cons
  • Ethanol high in the INCI list
  • Added fragrance is an allergen flag
  • Short hydrator list — minimal cushion for dry skin

Who it's for: Buyers who want high SPF with a modern non-EDC filter system in a light gel and tolerate alcohol; not for sensitive, dry, or fragrance-reactive skin.
