  • Sodium PCA and sodium hyaluronate add humectants
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Allantoin, panthenol, and chamomile for skin comfort
Cons
  • SPF 30 is markedly lower than SPF 50 peers
  • PEG-100 stearate and cyclopentasiloxane may concern some users
  • Chlorphenesin preservative can be sensitizing
  • No PA rating disclosed

Who it's for: Deeper complexions wanting a tinted, matte-finish daily mineral for indoor and incidental outdoor wear where SPF 30 is acceptable.

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.
No
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.
Yes
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.
