Verdict Should you buy it?

Anhydrous tinted stick combining octinoxate, octocrylene, and octisalate with bemotrizinol, Uvinul A Plus, and titanium dioxide. Fragrance is listed alongside linalool, limonene, and coumarin despite the sensitive-skin framing.

Pros
  • Hybrid filter system including titanium dioxide
  • Iron oxides and calamine for tone adjustment
  • Ectoin, panthenol, madecassoside, and aloe in the base
  • Stick format reapplies cleanly over makeup
Cons
  • Octinoxate is an endocrine-disruption concern
  • Fragrance plus linalool, limonene, and coumarin allergens
  • Sensitive-skin positioning conflicts with allergen load

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a tinted SPF stick and tolerant of fragrance allergens; not aligned with the sensitive-skin claim despite the label.

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.
Hybrid
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.
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.
No
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.
