01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 70
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. 68
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 62
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.
Lotion
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?

Kids-targeted lotion that omits actives from the printed INCI; the cosmetic base is fragrance- and alcohol-free with niacinamide, panthenol, and sodium hyaluronate. Polymer film-formers and PEG emulsifiers structure the lotion but introduce chlorphenesin and triethanolamine as sensitivity flags.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free formula
  • Niacinamide, panthenol, and sodium hyaluronate for hydration
  • Silica and polymer film-formers for smooth application
  • Designed for face and body in one product
Cons
  • Active sunscreen filters are not disclosed in the supplied INCI
  • Chlorphenesin preservative is a sensitization flag
  • Triethanolamine and PEG-100 stearate can irritate reactive skin

Who it's for: Caregivers seeking a fragrance- and alcohol-free face-and-body SPF for children, who do not need disclosure of the specific UV filters.
