Verdict Should you buy it?

A chemical stick that stacks homosalate, octinoxate, octisalate, and octocrylene with DHHB and Bemotrizinol. The base also carries bergamot, lavender, eucalyptus, and orange peel oils, which raise the irritant load.

Pros
  • Stick format for targeted touch-ups on the go
  • DHHB and Bemotrizinol extend UVA coverage
  • Ceramide NP, cholesterol, and panthenol included
  • No added Fragrance/Parfum on the label
  • Houttuynia and portulaca extracts in the base
Cons
  • Octinoxate and homosalate raise endocrine concerns
  • Octocrylene present (benzophenone formation over time)
  • Bergamot, lavender, eucalyptus, and orange peel oils
  • Waxes and octyldodecanol may feel occlusive

Who it's for: Buyers who need a portable touch-up stick and prioritize coverage over a clean filter profile or an essential-oil-free base.

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.
Stick
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
