Verdict Should you buy it?
A US mineral stick using zinc oxide as the sole UV filter, structured with elegant dibutyl lauroyl and ethylhexanoyl glutamide gellants and a silane-coated zinc to reduce white cast. Fragrance-free, free of denatured alcohol, with shea, jojoba, and grapeseed oils in the base.
Pros
- Single mineral filter with a reef-safer profile
- Silane-coated zinc reduces visible white cast
- Glutamide gellants give a non-greasy stick texture
- Tulip extract, stevia, and sodium hyaluronate in the base
Cons
- Single zinc filter means UVA depends on particle size
- Stick format can drag and streak on dry skin
- Contains propylene glycol, a known sensitizer for some
- No PA rating reported
Who it's for: Mineral-only buyers wanting a glow-finish zinc stick for on-the-go face touch-ups who do not require a modern organic UVA filter.

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.
Mineral
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.
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.
