Verdict Should you buy it?

Tinted mineral on a clean zinc oxide and titanium dioxide stack, layered with bakuchiol, copper and palmitoyl tripeptides, niacinamide, and a full amino-acid NMF complex. Fragrance and essential-oil-adjacent botanicals soften the gentleness story.

Pros
  • Pure mineral filter stack (zinc oxide + titanium dioxide)
  • Bakuchiol with copper tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
  • Amino-acid NMF complex for moisture support
  • Niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate included
Cons
  • Contains fragrance
  • Perilla and eucalyptus extracts add allergen exposure
  • Mineral cream base may feel heavy on oily skin
  • Iron-oxide tint range is limited

Who it's for: Mineral-leaning buyers wanting peptides and bakuchiol in a tinted SPF who tolerate fragrance.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 99
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 80
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 55
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 52
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 74

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.
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.
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' 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.
Yes
