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.
Hybrid
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?

Hybrid sun stick combining titanium dioxide with DHHB, ethylhexyl triazone, Parsol SLX, and bemotrizinol. Carries a long peptide list plus bakuchiol on a wax base, with added fragrance and ultramarines for tone-up.

Pros
  • Stick format for spot or top-up application
  • Modern UVA filter set (DHHB, Parsol SLX, bemotrizinol)
  • Extensive peptide and signal-peptide blend
  • Bakuchiol included as a botanical active
  • No drying alcohol
Cons
  • Added fragrance
  • Stick format limits even, full-face coverage
  • Ultramarines may leave a violet tone-up cast on some skin

Who it's for: Tone-up seekers who want a peptide-rich stick for layered or touch-up use and accept fragrance.
