Verdict Should you buy it?
Global edition built on the classic US filter quartet — avobenzone, homosalate, octocrylene, octisalate — in a silicone-heavy vitamin-E base. Actives are clearly listed here, but homosalate and octocrylene plus added fragrance keep health- and sensitivity-safety modest.
Pros
- Clearly listed US chemical filter quartet with avobenzone
- Silicone-rich slip aids invisible application
- Tocopherol and cocoa extract for antioxidant support
- Free of denatured alcohol
Cons
- Homosalate and octocrylene raise EDC and contamination concerns
- Contains added fragrance
- Avobenzone needs a strong photostabilizer pairing for UVA durability
- PEG-100 stearate and polysorbate 20 can irritate sensitive skin
Who it's for: Suits buyers who want a familiar US-style chemical filter combo in a Korean silicone-elegant base; not for sensitive-skin or homosalate-averse users.

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.
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.
