Verdict Should you buy it?

Fragrance-free modern filter cream layered with a broad tropical fruit extract panel and cyanocobalamin. Pineapple and papaya extracts carry mild enzyme risk for very reactive skin.

Pros
  • Four modern filters including Uvasorb HEB and Tinosorb M
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free per the INCI
  • Hippophae oil and tocopherol antioxidants
  • Hydroxyethyl urea humectant for hydration
  • Diethylhexyl butamido triazone broadens UVB coverage
Cons
  • Pineapple and papaya can carry mild proteolytic activity
  • Long botanical list raises overall sensitization vectors
  • Decyl glucoside can sensitize a small subset

Who it's for: Fragrance-averse buyers who want a modern filter stack and don't react to broad fruit-extract complexes.

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.
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.
Yes
