Verdict Should you buy it?

Mineral SPF 50 PA++++ built on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, supported by squalane, tocopherol, and soothing botanicals like licorice root, scutellaria, and aloe. Ethanol and rosemary leaf oil temper the sensitivity profile.

Pros
  • All-mineral filters: zinc oxide plus titanium dioxide
  • Fragrance-free formula
  • PA++++ for high-tier UVA labeling
  • Includes squalane and tocopherol for skin feel
  • Licorice root and aloe add soothing ingredients
Cons
  • Contains ethanol, which can dry reactive skin
  • Rosemary leaf oil is a potential irritant
  • Mineral filters may leave white cast on deeper tones
  • Multiple botanical extracts widen allergen exposure

Who it's for: Sensitive-leaning buyers wanting a fragrance-free, all-mineral SPF 50 with botanical soothers, provided they tolerate ethanol and essential oil traces.

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.
No
