Ranks #1449 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Active filters not itemized but silicone-rich base contains fragrance, PEG-100 stearate and polysorbate; fragrance penalizes sensitivity and full active set is uncertain.
Verdict Should you buy it?
US-market SPF 50+ where the active filters aren't itemized in the available INCI, leaving the filter slate uncertain. The silicone-rich base carries fragrance, PEG-100 stearate, and polysorbate 20, which depress sensitivity-safety despite tocopherol and cocoa extract.
Pros
- Silicone-rich slip for a smooth, invisible finish
- Tocopherol and Theobroma cacao extract add antioxidants
- Free of denatured alcohol
Cons
- Active filters not itemized in available INCI data
- Contains added fragrance
- PEG-100 stearate and polysorbate 20 can sensitize
- Lowest UV-protection score in this set due to filter uncertainty
Who it's for: Best skipped unless you can confirm the active filter slate elsewhere; better-documented COSRX SPFs are stronger picks.

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.
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.
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.
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.
