Verdict Should you buy it?

A zinc-oxide-led tinted cream with iron oxides and tin oxide. The filter choice is clean, but parfum plus ylang ylang oil, hexyl cinnamal, benzyl salicylate, isoeugenyl acetate, linalool, and terpineol pull sensitivity down.

Pros
  • Single zinc oxide filter approach
  • Iron oxides and tin oxide for tint management
  • Shea butter and esters for a creamy slip
  • Titanium dioxide listed alongside zinc
Cons
  • Parfum plus ylang ylang flower oil
  • Isoeugenyl acetate and hexyl cinnamal as allergens
  • Tinted finish limits shade matching
  • Aroma chemical load is high for a face product

Who it's for: Mineral-leaning users untroubled by florals and fragrance allergens; not for skin reactive to ylang ylang or aroma-rich formulas.

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.
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.
