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.
Mineral
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
Yes
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 fully mineral SPF 30 / PA+++ formulation with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide only, no fragrance and no ethanol. Glutathione, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, and hyaluronic acid support sensitive skin, though PA+++ caps UVA coverage.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide only, no chemical filters
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free for reactive skin
  • Dipotassium glycyrrhizate and glutathione soothe and brighten
  • Sodium hyaluronate and palm-derived lipids support the barrier
Cons
  • SPF 30 / PA+++ gives lower UVA defense than SPF 50 / PA++++
  • Mineral filters can leave a white cast on deeper skin tones
  • Silicone-and-wax base may feel heavier than chemical alternatives

Who it's for: Suits sensitive or reactive skin prioritizing mineral filters and a fragrance-free formula over peak UVA protection strength.
