Verdict Should you buy it?
A tinted hybrid pairing Bemotrizinol and zinc oxide with octinoxate and homosalate, plus iron-oxide-adjacent colorants and centella. Fragrance carries linalool, limonene, butylphenyl methylpropional, and benzyl salicylate, dragging its safety profile.
Pros
- Tinted finish blurs tone and may aid visible-light defense
- Includes Bemotrizinol and zinc oxide alongside legacy filters
- Centella and camellia extracts add soothing botanicals
- Tocopherol provides antioxidant support
Cons
- Contains octinoxate, flagged for endocrine and reef concerns
- Homosalate is restricted in the EU over endocrine activity
- Linalool, limonene, and butylphenyl methylpropional listed as allergens
- Benzyl salicylate adds another declared fragrance allergen
Who it's for: For buyers wanting a tinted finish who tolerate fragrance and legacy filters; not for reactive skin or reef-conscious users.

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.
Hybrid
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.
Yes
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.
