01 The score breakdown
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.
Chemical
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.
Cream
Finish How it looks once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Matte
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.
Yes
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?
Silicone primer-feel chemical SPF 35 with four US-FDA filters (avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate), fragrance- and alcohol-free; cosmetically smooth but the US filter stack lacks modern broad-spectrum UVA molecules and SPF tops out below 50.
Pros
- Fragrance-free formula
- Alcohol-free
- Silicone primer base for matte finish
- Aloe and Limnanthes seed oil for skin feel
- Four-filter US-FDA chemical stack
Cons
- SPF 35 only — below SPF 50 standard
- Heavy homosalate and octocrylene load (endocrine concerns)
- No modern UVA filters beyond avobenzone
- Multiple PEG dimethicone crosspolymers
Who it's for: US buyers seeking a primer-feel, fragrance-free chemical sunscreen for under-makeup wear; not for those wanting modern UVA filters or higher SPF.
