Verdict Should you buy it?

A titanium-dioxide-only mineral stick on a centella, hyaluronic, and panthenol skincare base. Fragrance-free and free of drying alcohol, but single-filter TiO2 systems tend to read chalky on deeper skin tones.

Pros
  • Titanium dioxide as the sole UV filter
  • Fragrance-free and free of drying alcohol
  • Centella complex with asiaticoside and madecassic acid
  • Multi-form hyaluronic acid for hydration
  • PA++++ UVA rating in a portable stick
Cons
  • TiO2-only formulas can leave a white cast on deeper skin tones
  • Stick wax base can drag on freshly cleansed skin
  • Single-filter mineral system limits broadband flexibility

Who it's for: Sensitive-skin or fair-skin buyers who want a TiO2-only mineral stick for touch-ups and accept a potential white cast.

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.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Stick
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.
