Verdict Should you buy it?

Pure mineral cream with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, backed by ceramide NG, hyaluronic acid, squalane, jojoba, macadamia, and hydrolyzed collagen. Fragrance-free and ethanol-free with a tone-up finish, though the high mineral load carries white-cast risk.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for full mineral broad-spectrum cover
  • Ceramide NG and hydrolyzed collagen for skin-barrier support
  • Squalane, jojoba, and macadamia oils nourish dry skin
  • No added fragrance, ethanol, or essential oils
  • Stearyl glycyrrhetinate and skullcap extract for soothing claim
Cons
  • High mineral load can leave a visible white cast on deeper skin
  • Tone-up whitening will not flatter medium or deep complexions
  • Silicone-heavy base may pill under certain primers or makeup

Who it's for: Sensitive, dry, or barrier-impaired skin on light tones seeking a fragrance-free pure-mineral sunscreen with tone-up brightening.

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.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Cream
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.
