Ranks #606 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Homosalate and alcohol denat ranked high in formula, plus fragrance. Modern adjunct filters help but alcohol-forward base is a sensitivity issue.
Verdict Should you buy it?
A tone-up hybrid built on a varied filter lineup including Tinosorb S, Uvinul T 150, and Mexoryl SX, but with Alcohol Denat. high in the INCI plus added Fragrance. Homosalate and octisalate compound the sensitivity hit; the filters do real UV work, the base does not suit reactive skin.
Pros
- Diverse filter lineup including Mexoryl SX, Tinosorb S, and Uvinul T 150
- Multiple hyaluronic acid forms layered for hydration
- Light cream texture aided by silica and methyl trimethicone
- Tone-up effect from titanium dioxide and mica
Cons
- Alcohol Denat. listed high in the INCI, drying for many skin types
- Contains added Fragrance plus a separate Alcohol entry
- Homosalate and octisalate both carry endocrine-disruption concerns
- Sensitivity-safety score of 32 signals real risk for reactive skin
Who it's for: Buyers who want a tone-up finish and a modern filter mix, tolerate denatured alcohol and fragrance, and do not have sensitive or compromised skin.

Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid blends both.
Hybrid
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.
No
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.
