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.
Chemical
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.
Spray
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.
Yes
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?

An LPG aerosol with the same seven UV filters plus a layered antioxidant and botanical load. Ethanol sits second on the INCI, and the inclusion of retinyl palmitate, tocopheryl acetate, and BHT widens the reactivity surface.

Pros
  • Seven-filter chemical UV blend
  • Fragrance-free per the INCI
  • Multiple antioxidants: tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate
  • Botanical extracts: green tea, sage, chamomile, apple
Cons
  • Ethanol sits second on the INCI list
  • Contains retinyl palmitate and BHT
  • Aerosol format carries inhalation considerations
  • Very long botanical list widens reactivity odds

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a fragrance-free spray for body use who don't react to ethanol or retinyl palmitate.
