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.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Milk
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.
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' is different — it can hide masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
No
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?

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.
