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.
Gel
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.
Yes
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
No
Verdict Is it worth it?

Fragrance-free Allie gel with a clean modern filter set (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, EHT, BEMT, DHHB). The ethanol-forward base trades sensitivity tolerance for a fast-drying gel finish.

Pros
  • Five modern filters spanning mineral and organic coverage
  • Fragrance-free formulation
  • Zinc oxide for both UV-A protection and subtle tone-up
  • Lightweight gel finish dries down quickly
  • Hydrogenated lecithin and sodium hyaluronate for hydration
Cons
  • Ethanol-forward base may sting compromised or dry skin
  • Gel format may emphasize dry patches

Who it's for: Oily or resilient-skin buyers wanting a fragrance-free, modern-filter Japanese gel with a fast-drying finish.
