Verdict Should you buy it?

A continuous spray built on the US chemical filter quartet — avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene — with homosalate listed at 15%. Only the actives appear in the published INCI; the inactive base is undisclosed, so sensitizers and solvents cannot be assessed from the label.

Pros
  • Body-friendly continuous spray application
  • Broad-spectrum SPF 30 from established US filters
  • Glowy finish per product specification
  • Simple four-filter system with no octinoxate
Cons
  • Homosalate at 15% sits at the US regulatory cap
  • Inactive INCI not disclosed; full formula opaque
  • Older filter set, no modern UVA boosters
  • No PA rating reported

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a quick body spray with a dewy look who do not require a fully transparent ingredient list or next-generation UVA filters.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 36
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50

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. 40
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.
Glowy
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.
