Verdict Should you buy it?

A US SPF 50 spray on a denatured-alcohol and acrylates-copolymer film base, with aloe, chamomile, sunflower seed oil, tocopherol and diethylhexyl syringylidenemalonate as an antioxidant. The active UV filters are not declared in the supplied INCI.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free formulation
  • Aloe and chamomile for soothing support

  • Caprylic/capric triglyceride for slip
  • Spray format covers quickly on active kids
Cons
  • Denatured alcohol leads the formula — drying potential
  • Active UV filter not declared in supplied INCI

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.
Spray
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.
