Verdict Should you buy it?

An all-mineral milk built on titanium dioxide with talc, calcium carbonate, and aluminum hydroxide bulking out the base. Yuzu peel oil and added fragrance push the scent profile up and bring photosensitizing risk.

Pros
  • Single-filter titanium dioxide system, no organic UV actives
  • Broad botanical roster including centella, licorice root, and chamomile
  • Tocopherol and dipotassium glycyrrhizate for soothing antioxidant input
  • Alcohol-free per the INCI list
Cons
  • Yuzu peel oil and fragrance are present, increasing allergen exposure
  • Talc, calcium carbonate, and aluminum hydroxide can feel chalky
  • TiO2-only system may leave a visible cast on deeper skin

Who it's for: Buyers seeking an all-mineral, single-filter milk with a yuzu scent who don't mind a powdery, fragrance-forward profile.

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.
Mineral
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.
Milk
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.
