Verdict Should you buy it?

A pure mineral cream with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in a relatively simple emulsifier system. Effective UV coverage, but the cream-format minerals carry white-cast risk and added fragrance limits use on reactive skin.

Pros
  • 100% mineral filters: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide
  • Free of drying alcohol
  • Inorganic-only filter approach with no organics
  • Simple base with isostearic acid and polyglyceryls
Cons
  • Contains fragrance, raising sensitivity risk
  • Cream mineral format can leave a white cast
  • Filter system is older inorganic-only, no modern organics

Who it's for: For buyers who specifically want a mineral-only formula and don't mind fragrance or a possible cast on deeper skin tones.

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.
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.
Yes
