Verdict Should you buy it?

A US SPF 50 cream whose active filter is not declared in the supplied INCI, surrounded by plant oils — shea butter, jojoba, avocado, sunflower — plus aloe and chamomile. Fragrance-free and free of drying alcohol, but the missing active limits filter assessment.

Pros
  • Rich plant-oil base for dry or dehydrated skin
  • Fragrance-free with no drying alcohol
  • Aloe and chamomile for soothing support
  • Tocopheryl acetate as an antioxidant
  • Minimal mineral cast on deeper skin tones
Cons
  • Active UV filter not declared in supplied INCI
  • Carrot seed oil is a mild sensitizer
  • Heavy plant oils may feel greasy on oily skin
  • No PA rating disclosed under US labeling

Who it's for: Dry-skinned kids and parents prioritizing botanical oils; those needing full filter transparency should look elsewhere.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 70
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 60
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 65
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.
Chemical
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.
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.
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.
