Verdict Should you buy it?

A modern Korean cream built on next-generation EU filters — diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, ethylhexyl triazone, and bemotrizinol — alongside bifida ferment and fruit extracts. Fragrance-free with a low irritant load and strong UVA coverage at PA++++.

Pros
  • Modern UVA/UVB filter trio with PA++++ rating
  • Fragrance-free with no denatured alcohol
  • Bifida ferment and rosa damascena for soothing
  • C20-22 fatty alcohols give a smooth cream feel
Cons
  • Rose, pear, plum, and ivy extracts add minor sensitizer risk
  • Cyclohexasiloxane base may not suit silicone-sensitive users
  • US buyers must import; not FDA-listed
  • INCI shows fragmented ingredient parsing in places

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a Korean SPF on modern non-US UV filters with a soothing ferment-rich base who do not object to silicone-driven slip.

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.
Yes
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.
Yes
