Verdict Should you buy it?

A silicone-led mineral-forward milk built on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with Parsol SLX as a polymeric assist. The fragrance-free formula carries less ethanol than the gel siblings, giving the cleanest sensitivity profile in the Allie line.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free per the INCI list
  • Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide lead the cast
  • Lower ethanol position than other Allie variants
  • Dimethicone and methyl trimethicone for smooth slip
  • No octinoxate, oxybenzone, or organic chemical UVB filters
Cons
  • Mineral-heavy load can leave a faint cast
  • Talc and stearic acid may not suit very dry skin
  • Polysilicone film-formers can feel occlusive in heat

Who it's for: Suits sensitive or fragrance-averse skin wanting a near-mineral milk with a soft matte finish and a current-generation polymeric UV booster.

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.
Hybrid
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.

Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Milk
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.
No
