Ranks #806 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Ethanol-forward gel with botanical/floral extracts, methylparaben, TEA; modern triazine filter mix keeps cosmetic feel light.
Verdict Should you buy it?
A lightweight gel using octinoxate, ethylhexyl triazone, bemotrizinol, Uvinul A Plus, and Parsol SLX. Ethanol is the second ingredient and is paired with methylparaben, BHT, and TEA, trading some tolerance for a fast-drying finish.
Pros
- Modern triazine + Parsol SLX filter system
- Fragrance-free per the INCI
- Crisp gel feel from carbomer and silica
- Stearoyl inulin and squalane add slip
Cons
- Ethanol is the second-listed ingredient
- Contains methylparaben, BHT, and triethanolamine
- Long botanical list widens the reactivity surface
- Heavy reliance on PEG-10 hydrogenated castor oil
Who it's for: Oily or combination skin that wants a fast, fluid gel and tolerates an ethanol-forward base.

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.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Gel
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.
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' 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.
No
