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.
Essence
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.
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?
US version of the Supra Screen serum, alcohol-free with niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate and ascorbyl glucoside in a matte essence. UV filters aren't listed in the US INCI, so the specific filter set isn't transparent from the label.
Pros
- Alcohol-free unlike the global version
- Niacinamide and ascorbyl glucoside included
- Sodium hyaluronate for hydration
- Carnosine antioxidant in the base
- Matte essence finish
Cons
- Fragrance present in INCI
- UV filters not disclosed on US label
- No PA rating on US packaging
- Sclerotium gum may pill under makeup
Who it's for: US shoppers wanting a fragranced but alcohol-free hydrating serum sunscreen who don't need filter transparency.
