Verdict Should you buy it?
A five-filter chemical system with rice bran and centella, but denatured alcohol sits fourth in the INCI and parfum is included. The formula reads as a fast-finish chassis that prioritizes feel over sensitivity.
Pros
- Five modern filters including Mexoryl SX and Parsol SLX
- Multiple rice bran and oryza extracts for botanical interest
- Centella and houttuynia botanicals for calming support
- Adenosine and tocopherol antioxidant support
- Lightweight, fast-set chassis from polysilicones
Cons
- Denatured alcohol high in the INCI list
- Parfum present and adds allergen risk
- Phenethyl alcohol can compound reactivity
- Quick-set ethanol formulas can sting compromised skin
Who it's for: Buyers who prize a quick-drying chemical SPF with a modern filter stack and tolerate ethanol-forward Korean 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.
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.
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.
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.
No
