01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 62
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 58
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity plus how biodegradable the UV filters and surfactants are. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, and how it actually feels on skin. 75
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 55
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.
No
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.
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.
Yes
Verdict Is it worth it?

US filter quartet (avobenzone, homosalate 15%, octisalate, octocrylene) in a silica- and polymer-loaded dry-touch base. Mattifies oily skin while staying fragrance- and alcohol-free, though the 15% homosalate load weighs on the health profile.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free formula
  • Silica plus styrene/methyl methacrylate polymers for shine control
  • SPF 60 with avobenzone for UVA coverage
  • Cassia alata extract for antioxidant support
Cons
  • 15% homosalate is a notable endocrine-disruptor concern
  • Older US filter system lacks modern UVA1 filters
  • Polymer-heavy texture may feel tight on dry skin

Who it's for: Oily and combination skin shoppers in the US who need a mattifying daily face SPF and don't have access to modern UVA filters.
