Verdict Should you buy it?
A mineral gel on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with alpha-arbutin and a soothing botanical wash. Fragrance- and alcohol-free with a tone-up effect, though SPF 30 PA+++ caps the protection ceiling for outdoor use.
Pros

- Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
- Alpha-arbutin and Scutellaria for brightening support
- Aloe and chamomile-based soothing botanicals
- Gel format lighter than typical mineral creams
Cons
- SPF 30 PA+++ is modest for prolonged outdoor exposure

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.
Mineral
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.
Gel
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.
