Ranks #1339 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Elegant milk texture but high homosalate + octocrylene + avobenzone load plus alcohol denat raise endocrine and irritation concerns.
Verdict Should you buy it?
Milk-texture body SPF using the US chemical quartet (avobenzone, homosalate 10%, octisalate, octocrylene) with alcohol denat in the vehicle. Fragrance-free base spreads easily, but the filter load plus alcohol depress both health and sensitivity scores.
Pros
- Fragrance-free milk vehicle
- Glycerin for surface hydration
- Lightweight milk texture for body application
- Cassia alata extract for antioxidant support
Cons
- Alcohol denat can irritate sensitive or dry skin
- 10% homosalate weighs on the health score
- Older US filter system lacks dedicated UVA1 filter
- Triethanolamine adds another sensitivity flag
Who it's for: Buyers wanting an easy-spreading milk-texture body and face SPF and who tolerate alcohol plus US chemical filters.

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.
No
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
