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.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Gel
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?

An oil-control gel that leans on homosalate and octocrylene alongside the Mexoryl 400 system, with silica, perlite and aluminum starch for shine control. The older filter trio and propylene glycol weigh down its health profile.

Pros
  • Strong shine-control mattifying system
  • Includes Mexoryl 400 for long UVA
  • Fragrance-free formulation
  • Alcohol-free vehicle
  • Light gel-cream texture
Cons
  • Homosalate and octocrylene as main filters
  • Propylene glycol may sensitize
  • One raw_name entry looks malformed
  • Aluminum salts may not suit all users

Who it's for: Oily and combination skin wanting a matte SPF 50 gel and willing to accept homosalate/octocrylene in exchange for finish.
