Verdict Should you buy it?
Modern multi-filter chemical serum with EHT, Mexoryl SX, DHHB, and Tinosorb S delivering broad-spectrum coverage, fortified with ceramide NP, niacinamide, and peptides for barrier and hydration support. Parfum is the main caveat.
Pros
- Five modern non-EDC UV filters (EHT, DHHB, BEMT, Mexoryl SX, SLX)
- Ceramide NP and phytosterols support skin barrier
- Niacinamide, panthenol, and adenosine in the formula
- Essence texture suits layering under makeup
- Hydrolyzed collagen and multi-form hyaluronic acid for hydration
Cons
- Contains Parfum, not suited for fragrance-sensitive skin
- Long ingredient list increases reaction-risk surface area
- Fatty alcohol and stearic acid blend may feel slightly rich
Who it's for: Buyers wanting a modern chemical sunscreen with barrier and hydration support; not the pick for fragrance-sensitive or minimalist routines.

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.
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.
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
