Verdict Should you buy it?

Layered Korean chemical formula with a five-filter modern stack including Mexoryl SX, DHHB, and bemotrizinol, plus a hyaluronic complex and probiotic ferment. Citrus essential oils and the limonene/citral/linalool that come with them weigh down its sensitivity profile.

Pros
  • Five modern filters: Mexoryl SX, DHHB, EHT, Parsol SLX, and bemotrizinol
  • Layered hyaluronic and ferment hydrators for a glossy ampoule-style finish
  • Niacinamide and adenosine alongside tocopherol antioxidant
  • Lactobacillus ferment and biosaccharide gum-4 as postbiotic actives
  • Alcohol-free base
Cons
  • Mandarin, sweet orange, and litsea cubeba oils are phototoxicity concerns
  • Limonene, citral, and linalool are known fragrance allergens
  • Sensitivity- or eczema-prone skin may not tolerate the essential oil load

Who it's for: Buyers comfortable with essential oils who want a layered hydrating chemical formula with a deep modern filter stack.

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.
