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.
Milk
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?

Mineral milk built on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with shea butter, niacinamide, ginger extract, and bisabolol. Free of fragrance and ethanol, but uses palmarosa, eucalyptus, lemongrass, and rosemary essential oils.

Pros
  • All-mineral SPF 50+ PA+++ with no organic UV absorbers
  • Shea butter, niacinamide, and bisabolol on a hydrating base
  • No added fragrance or drying alcohol
  • Sardine oil included as a marine lipid emollient
  • Polyhydroxystearic acid coating helps mineral dispersion
Cons
  • Multiple aromatic essential oils may sensitize reactive skin
  • Milk format can still leave a faint mineral cast
  • Ginger extract may not suit very reactive skin

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a high-SPF all-mineral milk on a botanical, fragrance-free base who tolerate essential oils.
