Verdict Should you buy it?
A chemical stick where homosalate is the only listed UV filter, paired with one of the densest allergen lists in the batch: farnesol, citral, limonene, geraniol, citronellol, linalool, and isoeugenol on top of parfum.
Pros
- Portable stick format for touch-ups
- Bisabolol, aloe extract, and tocopherol for soothing support
- Coconut and soybean oils for emollience
- Alcohol-free per INCI
Cons
- Homosalate alone is a narrow, UVB-leaning filter choice
- Parfum plus seven distinct fragrance allergens
- Isoeugenol is a high-risk fragrance allergen
- Benzyl salicylate and hexyl cinnamal add further load
Who it's for: Tolerant skin wanting a portable fragranced stick; not for fragrance-sensitive users or anyone wanting fuller UV-filter detail.

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.
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.
Glowy
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.
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.
