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.
Cushion
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 cushion uses a five-filter hybrid system with iron oxides for color correction and a centella complex for soothing claims. The finish leans elegant, but a long fragrance, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender stack creates a high irritation profile.

Pros
  • Five-filter hybrid spans UVB through long-UVA wavelengths
  • Iron oxides plus titanium dioxide give tint and visible-light cover
  • Centella quartet (asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic and madecassic acid)
  • Niacinamide included at a meaningful slot for tone support
  • Cushion format reapplies cleanly over makeup
Cons
  • Fragrance with limonene, linalool, citronellol — common contact allergens
  • Peppermint, rosemary, and lavender oils raise sensitization risk further
  • Contains octinoxate, flagged for endocrine-disruption concerns
  • Only two shade options limit color matching

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a tinted centella cushion who tolerate fragrance and herbal oils; not suited to reactive or barrier-impaired skin.
