01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 52
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity plus how biodegradable the UV filters and surfactants are. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, and how it actually feels on skin. 80
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 52
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.
Chemical
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.
Milk
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?

An anhydrous silicone-gel SPF built on isododecane and dimethicone crosspolymer, with 15% homosalate plus octocrylene, octisalate, and 3% avobenzone. The waterless format reads as a clear, lightweight finish, but the filter load is heavy and skews older.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and free of drying alcohol
  • Anhydrous silicone base for an invisible finish
  • Tocopherol, rosemary, and astaxanthin extracts as antioxidants
  • Rice ferment and coconut extract included
  • Lightweight gel-milk format
Cons
  • 15% homosalate sits at the FDA upper limit
  • Heavy total chemical filter load
  • Avobenzone alone for UVA without modern stabilizers
  • No PA rating disclosed

Who it's for: Buyers who want an invisible, fragrance-free silicone-gel finish for daily wear and accept a high homosalate load to get there.
