03 The facts, at a glance
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid runs both.
Chemical
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Lotion
Finish How it looks 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' is different — it can hide masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
Yes
Verdict Is it worth it?
Chemical SPF 30 lotion using octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate, and avobenzone in an aloe and emollient base. Added fragrance and triethanolamine pull down the sensitivity score.
Pros

- Aloe juice and caprylic/capric triglyceride base
- Sodium ascorbyl phosphate adds antioxidant
- Lightweight lotion texture
Cons
- Added fragrance can irritate reactive skin
- Homosalate is under ongoing regulatory review
- Triethanolamine raises formulation flags
Who it's for: Buyers wanting a familiar chemical SPF 30 lotion who tolerate added fragrance and the standard organic filter set.
