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.
Hybrid
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.
Cream
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.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
No
Verdict Is it worth it?
A six-filter hybrid centered on zinc oxide with octinoxate, bemotrizinol, Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T 150, and Parsol SLX. The base is ethanol-forward and adds fragrance, BHT, sodium lauryl sulfate, and talc, dragging the sensitivity profile.
Pros
- Six-filter stack gives strong UVA and UVB coverage
- Mica supports a tone-up effect without explicit tint
- Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, tocopherol, and botanical extracts
- Modern triazine chemistry deepens UVA performance
Cons
- Octinoxate and ethanol drive endocrine and sensitivity concerns
- Sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are unusual in a leave-on SPF
- Fragrance and BHT add allergen and preservative exposure
Who it's for: Coverage-focused buyers who want maximum filter breadth and accept ethanol, fragrance, and octinoxate.
