03 The facts, at a glance
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid runs both.
Hybrid
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Stick
Finish How it looks 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' is different — it can hide masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
Yes
Verdict Is it worth it?

Japanese hybrid stick with a modern five-filter stack (Uvinul A, EHT, Parsol SLX, BEMT, titanium dioxide) and no octinoxate. Bisabolol, polysilicone film, and watercress and purslane extracts keep it lightweight; fragrance is the main flag.

Pros
  • Five modern filters without octinoxate or octocrylene
  • Bisabolol for cushioning support
  • Alcohol-free stick with tocopherol antioxidants
  • Dry, powdery finish from silicone elastomers and polyethylene
  • Travel-friendly stick format
Cons
  • Contains fragrance, which may bother fragrance-sensitive skin
  • Stick wax matrix can feel waxy in heat

Who it's for: Buyers who want a modern-filter Japanese stick with a dry, light finish and accept fragrance.
