Verdict Should you buy it?

Zinc-oxide-only mineral cream with modern silicone dispersion, niacinamide, and palmitoyl tripeptide-5. Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and rich with soothing botanicals, though a mineral cream texture can still wear heavy.

  • Niacinamide and palmitoyl tripeptide-5
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Squalane, allantoin, and calendula for soothing
  • Modern silicone-dispersion mineral base
Cons
  • Single-filter ZnO may still leave a slight cast
  • Mineral cream feel can be heavy for some skins
  • Long botanical list raises sensitization risk

Who it's for: Mineral-only buyers wanting Korean skincare-grade extras like niacinamide and peptides without fragrance or alcohol.

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.
Mineral
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.
