Verdict Should you buy it?
Zinc-oxide-only mineral with iron oxides for tint, supported by niacinamide, ectoin, and bisabolol. SPF 30 caps the protection level, but the short ingredient list and calming actives suit reactive skin.
Pros
- Zinc oxide is the sole UV filter
- Tinted with iron oxides to mute white cast
- Niacinamide, ectoin, and bisabolol support calm skin
- Fragrance-free with no ethanol in the formula
Cons
- SPF 30 only; no PA rating disclosed
- Zinc-only coverage is narrower than zinc plus titanium
- Dewy finish may not suit oily skin
- Disteardimonium hectorite can pill under heavy layers
Who it's for: Sensitive-skin buyers who want a tinted zinc-only mineral and accept SPF 30 rather than 50.

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.
Dewy
Tinted Adds sheer pigment (iron oxides) that masks the white cast common to mineral filters and gives a skin-tone finish.
Yes
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.
