Verdict Should you buy it?

Chemical-only stick with four modern EU filters and a dense Ayurvedic botanical complex (neem, holy basil, turmeric). Calming branding leans on plants; rosemary, jojoba, and rice bran oils add real allergen load.

Pros
  • Four modern EU filters: Uvinul A+, T 150, Parsol SLX, Bemotrizinol
  • Niacinamide listed early in the LOI
  • Stick format for targeted re-application
  • No added fragrance or drying alcohol
  • Ayurvedic complex with neem, holy basil, turmeric
Cons
  • Stick wax base can drag on skin
  • Heavy plant-extract load raises allergen risk
  • Rosemary leaf oil among the sensitizers

Who it's for: Buyers wanting modern chemical filters in a re-apply-on-the-go stick; not for sensitive skin reactive to dense botanical complexes.

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.
Chemical
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.
Stick
Finish How the formula looks on skin once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Dewy
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.
Yes
