Verdict Should you buy it?

An alcohol-free SPF 50 PA+++ cream with a layered chemical filter set — octinoxate, PBSA, bemotrizinol, avobenzone, Uvinul A Plus, and Uvinul T 150. Fragrance and a Yellow 5 dye remain, and behenyl alcohol contributes a richer feel.

Pros
  • Alcohol-free per the listed INCI
  • Modern UVA support from Uvinul A Plus and avobenzone
  • Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin for hydration
  • Cream texture suits drier skin types
Cons
  • Octinoxate is a legacy UVB filter
  • Fragrance present, a common sensitizer
  • Includes a synthetic Yellow 5 (CI 17200) colorant
  • Avobenzone with octinoxate raises photostability concerns

Who it's for: Drier or alcohol-sensitive skin seeking a cushiony Japanese high-SPF cream and untroubled by added fragrance.

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.
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
