  • Niacinamide and panthenol support tone and hydration
  • Pinus pinaster bark extract adds antioxidant support
  • Fluid texture suits combination skin
Cons
  • Six declared fragrance allergens raise reactivity risk
  • Octinoxate is flagged for endocrine and reef concerns
  • Heavily scented profile unsuitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin

Who it's for: Users wanting a lightweight hybrid fluid who tolerate strong fragrance and legacy filters; not for sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

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.
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.
