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.
Stick
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.
No
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?

Wax-based SPF 51 PA++++ stick combining homosalate, octinoxate and octisalate with modern bemotrizinol and DHHB. The portable format suits reapplication, but parfum and the older chemical filters limit how gentle it can be on reactive skin.

Pros
  • Modern bemotrizinol and DHHB in the blend
  • Niacinamide and tocopherol included
  • Alcohol-free base
  • Guava and pomegranate fruit extracts
  • Portable stick format for reapplication
Cons
  • Octinoxate and homosalate are EDC and reef-flagged
  • Parfum present in INCI
  • Waxy stick feel can drag on the skin
  • May pill over silicone-based makeup

Who it's for: Travelers and outdoor users wanting a portable SPF 51 stick who don't mind older filters and added fragrance.
