Verdict Should you buy it?

Modern-filter chemical gel pairing octisalate and homosalate with bemotrizinol, Tinosorb M, Parsol SLX, and Uvinul A Plus for broad UVA-stable coverage. Ethanol, fragrance, and homosalate make the base harsher than the filter set alone would suggest.

Pros
  • Photostable next-generation filters including bemotrizinol and Tinosorb M
  • Strong UVA coverage from Uvinul A Plus
  • Gel and silicone matrix give a light finish
  • Hyaluronic acid forms for surface hydration
Cons
  • Alcohol high in the formula, drying for some skin
  • Contains fragrance
  • Homosalate raises endocrine concerns
  • Several extract entries are not clearly identified

Who it's for: Oily skin wanting a light gel SPF with modern global filters, and who are not sensitive to ethanol or 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.
Gel
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.
