Verdict Should you buy it?

A silicone-forward milk pairing zinc oxide with octinoxate, Uvinul A Plus, Parsol SLX, and bemotrizinol. Cyclopentasiloxane and trimethylsiloxysilicate deliver light slip, while ethanol and BHT keep the tolerance profile moderate.

Pros
  • Hybrid filter system pairs zinc oxide with triazines
  • Fragrance-free per the INCI list
  • Silicone base gives a quick-dry, smooth finish
  • Tocopherol and jojoba oil round out the emollient layer
Cons
  • Ethanol sits fourth on the INCI list
  • Contains BHT
  • Cyclopentasiloxane is a volatile silicone some skin types dislike
  • Octinoxate dates the otherwise modern filter mix

Who it's for: Normal to oily skin that wants a silicone-light milk and is comfortable with 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.
Hybrid
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.
Milk
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
