03 The facts, at a glance
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid runs both.
Mineral
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Lotion
Finish How it looks 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' is different — it can hide masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
Yes
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
Yes
Verdict Is it worth it?

Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide carried in a dense dimethicone-wax matrix with copper gluconate and zinc gluconate. The silicone base supports outdoor wear, but PEG-7 hydrogenated castor oil and the heavy mineral load limit cosmetic elegance.

Pros
  • Dual mineral filters in a durable silicone matrix
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Copper and zinc gluconate trace minerals included
  • Tocopherol added for antioxidant protection
Cons
  • PEG-7 hydrogenated castor oil can irritate compromised skin
  • Heavy mineral load shows white cast on most skin tones
  • Texture is thicker than daily-wear lotions

Who it's for: Active users who prioritize a robust mineral base for outdoor activity and accept a heavier finish in exchange.
