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. 35
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. 82
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 50
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.
Cream
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.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
No
Verdict Is it worth it?

The US reformulation lists avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene as actives, with denatured alcohol high on the list plus fragrance and the allergens citral, geraniol, limonene and linalool. Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin support hydration.

Pros
  • Avobenzone paired with octocrylene for UVA photostability
  • Fluid, lightweight texture under makeup
  • Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin for hydration
  • Minimal mineral cast across skin tones
  • Phenyl trimethicone for smooth slip
Cons
  • Denatured alcohol high in the formula — can feel drying
  • Fragrance plus four declared fragrance allergens
  • US filter set misses modern UVA absorbers like Tinosorb
  • No PA rating disclosed under US labeling

Who it's for: Oily or normal skin tolerant of fragrance and alcohol who wants a fluid Japanese-brand SPF in US-market form.
