Ranks #430 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Tinted zinc with niacinamide and antioxidants; fragrance-free, iron-oxide cast control, mild clove extract is the only notable sensitivity flag.
Verdict Should you buy it?
A tinted mineral SPF 50 built around zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, with niacinamide, ergothioneine, and astaxanthin layered in. Iron oxides manage the cast, but clove bud extract is a minor sensitivity flag worth noting.
Pros
- Fragrance-free and alcohol-free per INCI
- Niacinamide plus ergothioneine and astaxanthin
- Iron oxides for cast control on light to medium tones
- Pairs zinc oxide with titanium dioxide
- Aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate as added antioxidant
Cons
- Clove bud extract may sensitize reactive skin
- Tint limits shade flexibility on deeper complexions
- Mineral cream feel can be heavier than chemical options
Who it's for: Skin wanting antioxidant-supported mineral coverage with a light tint, and tolerant of trace botanical extracts; not for those avoiding clove derivatives.

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.
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.
Yes
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.
