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.
Mineral
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
Yes
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.
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' is different — it can hide masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
Yes
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?

Mineral SPF 30 with ZnO, TiO2, and iron-oxide tint plus aloe, licorice, and rhatany root. The big concern is methylisothiazolinone — a well-documented contact allergen — alongside PEG-7 cocoate and propylene glycol that further pressure sensitive-skin appeal.

Pros
  • All-mineral ZnO and TiO2 with iron-oxide tint
  • Aloe, licorice, and rhatany root soothe
  • Fragrance-free and free of denatured alcohol
  • Beta-glucan supports barrier comfort
Cons
  • Contains methylisothiazolinone, a notable contact allergen
  • Only SPF 30 PA+++ — a modest protection ceiling
  • PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate and propylene glycol can irritate
  • Lowest cosmetic-elegance score in this set

Who it's for: Best avoided by anyone with reactive skin due to methylisothiazolinone; only consider if a tinted mineral SPF 30 is specifically wanted.
