01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 35
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity plus how biodegradable the UV filters and surfactants are. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, and how it actually feels on skin. 55
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 45
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.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Cream
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 four-filter chemical face SPF 50 with avobenzone 1.75%, homosalate 5%, octisalate 2%, and octocrylene in a botanical oleosome and jojoba ester base. Solid UV coverage, but homosalate load and added Aroma weaken its gentleness.

Pros
  • SPF 50 broad-spectrum with four chemical filters
  • Alcohol-free emollient base with jojoba esters and oleosomes
  • Glycerin and aloe for hydration
  • Tropolone and caprylyl glycol-based preservation
Cons
  • Homosalate at 5% raises endocrine concern
  • Contains Aroma — flavor/scent components
  • Dimethicone-led finish may not suit silicone-avoidant users
  • Filter stack matches the brand's body lotion, not face-specific

Who it's for: Face-SPF buyers who like a scented cream finish and accept homosalate; not for fragrance-sensitive or reactive complexions.
