Verdict Should you buy it?

A mineral stick centered on zinc oxide, with the INCI as captured showing only the active filter. Fragrance-free and alcohol-free, though detail on the supporting base is limited here.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide as the visible UV filter
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free per INCI
  • Stick format for targeted touch-ups
  • No synthetic fragrance components
Cons
  • High zinc load typically leaves a visible cast
  • Stick texture can drag and feel waxy
  • INCI as recorded is sparse on supporting ingredients
  • Listed as tinted but no iron oxides visible in INCI

Who it's for: Reactive skin tolerating mineral filters that wants a portable touch-up stick; not for those needing a seamless finish on deeper tones.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 61
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 65
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 55
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 78
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.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Stick
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.
