Verdict Should you buy it?

Stick combining octinoxate, octocrylene, and octisalate with Uvinul A Plus and bemotrizinol in a paraffin-wax base. The heavy fragrance with ten declared EU allergens dominates the sensitivity profile and drops the overall score.

Pros
  • Multi-filter UVA coverage via Uvinul A Plus and bemotrizinol
  • Alcohol-free formula
  • Stick format aids on-the-go reapplication
  • Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate and tocopherol for antioxidant load
Cons
  • Octinoxate carries endocrine-disruption concerns
  • Fragrance plus ten declared EU allergens listed
  • Octocrylene also present in the stack
  • Wax stick can pill over silicone primers

Who it's for: Buyers untroubled by fragrance allergens who want a portable touch-up stick and accept legacy filter chemistry.

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.
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.
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
