Verdict Should you buy it?
Single-filter titanium dioxide essence anchored by tranexamic acid, ceramide NP, and a phytosphingosine pair for barrier and tone support. SPF 35 and the absence of zinc oxide limit long-UVA cover, and sodium metabisulfite can sensitize some users.
Pros
- Tranexamic acid included for tone and post-sun discoloration claims
- Ceramide NP plus phytosphingosines support skin-barrier care
- Fragrance-free, ethanol-free, built on squalane and glycerin
- Niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate add hydration and tone support
- Botanical blend (rose, baikal skullcap, licorice root) is well documented
Cons
- Only titanium dioxide — no zinc oxide, weaker long-UVA cover
- SPF 35 falls below the SPF 50 daily-driver standard
- Sodium metabisulfite is a known low-level sensitizer
Who it's for: Users targeting tone evenness with tranexamic acid who want a fragrance-free mineral serum and accept lower SPF and weaker UVA-1 breadth.

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.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Essence
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.
