Verdict Should you buy it?

A trimmed-down mineral cream from JELLYS GUARD with TiO2/ZnO and jojoba esters but no polymeric film-formers. Cleaner deck than the Plus version, though fragrance and the chalk risk inherent to cream minerals remain.

Pros
  • Mineral-only filters: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide
  • Shorter ingredient deck than the Plus version
  • Alcohol-free with simple polyglyceryl emulsifier system
  • Jojoba esters add a softer skin feel
Cons
  • Contains fragrance, a known irritant for reactive skin
  • Cream mineral format risks visible white cast
  • No modern organic filters in the system

Who it's for: For mineral-only users wanting a leaner deck than the Plus version, who tolerate fragrance and accept potential cast.

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
