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.
Hybrid
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Stick
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.
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' 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?

Tinted hybrid stick combining ZnO with DHHB, Uvinul T 150, Parsol SLX, and Tinosorb S, plus iron oxides for tone correction. Free of drying alcohol but contains added fragrance, which is the main sensitivity drag on an otherwise modern filter set.

Pros
  • Modern hybrid filter mix: ZnO with DHHB, Uvinul T 150, Tinosorb S
  • Tinted with iron oxides — helps offset any mineral cast
  • No oxybenzone, octinoxate, or octocrylene
  • Free of drying alcohol
Cons
  • Added fragrance lowers the sensitivity profile
  • Wax-rich stick base limits cosmetic elegance
  • Very short aqueous phase — minimal skincare actives

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a tinted SPF stick with modern filters and comfortable with added fragrance.
