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. 62
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. 70
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 65
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?

A silicone-based SPF 50 sport cream with niacinamide, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate layered into a dimethicone matrix. PEG emulsifiers and chlorphenesin/phenoxyethanol nudge irritation risk up despite the otherwise clean profile.

Pros
  • Alcohol-free and fragrance-free
  • Niacinamide included in the base
  • Silicone film for smooth wear
  • Hyaluronate and panthenol for comfort
  • Sodium hydroxide–free pH balance via TEA
Cons
  • PEG-100 and PEG-8 emulsifiers may sensitize
  • Chlorphenesin plus phenoxyethanol preservation
  • UV filter list not disclosed
  • Heavier silicone feel under makeup

Who it's for: Daily-wear users wanting a silicone-smooth SPF 50 with niacinamide, who don't react to common PEG emulsifiers.
