Ranks #455 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Pure mineral kids formula, alcohol- and fragrance-free; risk of white cast and dry finish from ZnO/TiO2 dominance.
Verdict Should you buy it?
A pure mineral kids milk built on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in a silicone-emollient base, with no alcohol or fragrance. The streamlined formula keeps the irritation profile low but risks a visible white cast and a drier finish.
Pros
- Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide give broad mineral coverage
- Alcohol-free and fragrance-free formulation
- Short ingredient list limits exposure to common irritants
- Silicone emollients help spreadability of mineral filters
- PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate stabilizes the mineral dispersion
Cons
- Mineral filter load tends to leave a white cast
- Finish can read dry on adult skin
- No humectants beyond butylene glycol for added comfort
- Limited UVA depth versus hybrids with modern boosters
Who it's for: Parents seeking a fragrance- and alcohol-free mineral SPF for children or very reactive adult skin, accepting a visible cast for a simple ingredient list.

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.
Mineral
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.
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.
