Verdict Should you buy it?

Tinted SPF51 PA++++ cushion with a modern filter set — bemotrizinol, DHHB, octisalate, and titanium dioxide — alongside homosalate, plus iron oxides for coverage. Fragrance and homosalate's EDC concerns are the main drawbacks.

Pros
  • Modern UV-A filters (bemotrizinol and DHHB) with TiO2
  • Iron oxides help cover the titanium dioxide white cast
  • Cushion format makes mid-day touch-ups easy
  • Niacinamide, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid
  • Purslane, aloe, and dioscorea botanicals
Cons
  • Homosalate carries endocrine-disruption concerns
  • Fragrance is declared in the INCI
  • Limited to one shade (clear beige)
  • Cushion-sponge hygiene needs attention over time

Who it's for: Someone who wants a tinted cushion SPF for makeup-style application and does not avoid homosalate or scented formulas.

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.
Hybrid
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.
Cushion
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.
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' 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
