Ranks #1390 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Very elegant dry-finish fluid, but high alcohol denat plus chemical filter quartet (homosalate, octocrylene, avobenzone) hits both sensitivity and health.
Verdict Should you buy it?
Dry-finish chemical fluid with the US filter quartet (avobenzone, homosalate 10%, octisalate, octocrylene) plus cyclopentasiloxane and silica for an elegant feel. High cosmetic elegance, but alcohol denat early in the INCI undercuts sensitivity tolerance.
Pros
- Lightweight silicone-fluid texture with dry finish
- Fragrance-free formula
- Silica and polymer matrix for shine control
- Cassia alata and tocopherol antioxidants
Cons
- Alcohol denat fourth on the INCI can sting reactive skin
- 10% homosalate weighs on the health score
- Older US filter system lacks modern UVA1 chemistry
Who it's for: Oily-skinned US shoppers who prize a dry, silicone-elegant finish and don't react to alcohol-based vehicles.

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.
Cream
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
