Verdict Should you buy it?
Purple-shaded variant of the modern-filter tone-up using DHHB, Parsol SLX, ethylhexyl triazone, and titanium dioxide. Ultramarine pigment shifts cast on deeper tones; the citrus essential oils still set the sensitivity ceiling.
Pros
- All-modern UV filter combination across the four declared actives
- Niacinamide, adenosine, glutathione, and squalane in the base
- Alcohol-free per the INCI list
- Wine, baobab leaf, and ferment extracts in the antioxidant complex
Cons
- Ultramarine purple can cast cool on deeper skin tones
- Multiple citrus peel oils and litsea cubeba are present
- Lavandula angustifolia flower extract adds another allergen source
Who it's for: Light-to-medium-toned buyers who want a purple color-corrector with modern filters and don't react to citrus oils.

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.
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.
Yes
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.
