Verdict Should you buy it?

An untinted zinc oxide mineral with a notably short ingredient list — olive esters, jojoba, squalane, and licorice-derived soothers. Clean and fragrance-free, but the untinted format risks visible cast on deeper skin tones.

Pros
  • Single-filter zinc oxide for broad-spectrum coverage
  • Short, focused ingredient list
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Dipotassium glycyrrhizate adds a soothing note
  • No essential oils or PEGs
Cons
  • Untinted ZnO can leave a white cast on darker tones
  • SPF 30 only; not for high-exposure scenarios
  • Tone-up purpose may brighten unevenly on deeper skin

Who it's for: Light-to-medium skin tones wanting a clean mineral daily SPF; deeper tones may prefer the tinted Wonderscreen variant.

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.
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.
