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.
Mineral
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.
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?

All-mineral SPF 27 PA++ built on titanium dioxide and zinc oxide with shea butter, niacinamide, and licorice extract. Fragrance- and ethanol-free, though the formula uses aromatic essential oils (eucalyptus, palmarosa, geranium, rosemary).

Pros
  • All-mineral filter pair without organic UV absorbers
  • Shea butter and sunflower oil for emollience
  • Niacinamide and licorice (dipotassium glycyrrhizate) included
  • No added fragrance or drying alcohol
  • Tocopheryl acetate provides antioxidant skin support
Cons
  • SPF 27 PA++ — modest UVA/UVB ceiling for outdoor use
  • Essential oils (eucalyptus, palmarosa, geranium, rosemary) can irritate sensitive skin
  • Mineral-cream texture may not feel light

Who it's for: Daily indoor or low-UV-day users who want a botanically rich mineral cream and tolerate essential oils.
