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.
Cream
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.
Yes
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?
A homosalate, octocrylene, and avobenzone face cream that skips synthetic fragrance and ethanol, paired with sodium hyaluronate and cucumber extract. Benzyl alcohol and propylene glycol are points to weigh on reactive skin.
Pros
- Fragrance-free and free of denatured alcohol
- Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin support hydration
- Octocrylene helps stabilize avobenzone against UV breakdown
- Cream texture suits dry to normal face skin
Cons
- Older organic filter mix with a heavy homosalate load
- Benzyl alcohol can trigger reactions in sensitive users
- Propylene glycol may bother very reactive skin
- No modern UVA-anchor filter like DHHB or Tinosorb
Who it's for: Dry to normal face skin wanting a chemical SPF 45 cream without fragrance and comfortable with a richer texture under makeup.
