Verdict Should you buy it?

A Korean centella-led chemical sunscreen built on a modern DHHB/EHT/MBBT/Polysilicone-15 filter stack delivering broad UVA-UVB coverage. Fragrance-free and alcohol-free, with niacinamide, beta-glucan and centella extract supporting a calm finish.

Pros
  • Modern filter stack: DHHB, EHT, MBBT and Polysilicone-15
  • Fragrance-free and free of drying alcohol
  • Niacinamide, beta-glucan and centella support soothing
  • PA++++ UVA rating at SPF 50
  • Cream texture with PMMA blur powders for natural finish
Cons
  • Chemical filters may not suit those who prefer mineral
  • Contains decyl glucoside, a mild surfactant some find drying
  • Cream format heavier than gel or essence textures

Who it's for: For buyers wanting modern UVA-strong filters in a fragrance-free centella-led base, in a cream finish rather than a watery gel or essence.

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.
