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.
Chemical
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.
Stick
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.
No
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?

A clear Japanese stick combining modern filters (Bemotrizinol, DHHB, Parsol SLX) with octinoxate, octocrylene, and octisalate. Fragrance and octinoxate temper its sensitivity and health-safety scores.

Pros

  • Bisabolol, tocopherol, and glutathione antioxidants
  • SPF50+ with PA++++ UVA rating
Cons
  • Contains fragrance
  • Includes octinoxate, a dated UVB filter
  • Wax stick base may feel heavy on oily skin

Who it's for: A buyer who wants a portable clear stick with a Japanese-market modern-filter mix and is fine with octinoxate and fragrance.
