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.
Chemical
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.
Stick
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.
Yes
Verdict Is it worth it?

Silicone-wax stick built on octinoxate, avobenzone, and Parsol SLX in a fragrance-free, travel-friendly base. The skin-feel is clean and reapplication is easy, but the octinoxate plus avobenzone pairing carries the same endocrine flags as the gel.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free, alcohol-free
  • Stick format simplifies reapplication and travel
  • Parsol SLX adds photostability to the filter mix
  • Glycerin and butylene glycol for surface hydration
Cons
  • Octinoxate raises endocrine concerns
  • Avobenzone requires reliable photostabilization
  • BHT antioxidant is flagged by some buyers
  • Stick format can drag on dry or peeling skin

Who it's for: On-the-go users wanting a fragrance-free stick for touch-ups and comfortable with the octinoxate and avobenzone combination.
