01 The score breakdown
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.
Spray
Finish How it looks once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Matte
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 SPF 45 chemical spray using avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene in an alcohol-denat carrier for a fast-drying matte finish. The alcohol vehicle and high octocrylene load drive a low sensitivity-safety score.
Pros
- Quick-drying invisible matte finish
- Fragrance-free formulation
- Slim emollient base feels light
- Vitamin E and a stabilizer for the filter blend
Cons
- Alcohol denat as primary vehicle
- Octocrylene raises EDC concern
- Homosalate at 10% in the filter load
- Spray format risks uneven coverage
Who it's for: Active wearers who prioritize an invisible matte feel over gentleness and are comfortable with an alcohol-heavy chemical spray.
