Verdict Should you buy it?

Hybrid SPF 51 pairing TiO2 with modern Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T 150, and Tinosorb M, tinted and layered with hydrolyzed collagen, ceramide NP, sodium hyaluronate, and a full amino-acid panel. PA+++ rather than ++++, and added fragrance lowers its sensitivity headroom.

Pros
  • Modern UVA filter trio: Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T 150, Tinosorb M
  • Tinted to mask any residual TiO2 cast
  • Hydrolyzed collagen, ceramide NP, multiple hyaluronates
  • Niacinamide and panthenol for barrier support
Cons
  • Contains fragrance — irritation risk for sensitive skin
  • PA+++ rather than the ++++ ceiling
  • Single tint shade limits use across skin tones
  • Very long INCI — more variables for reactive skin

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a modern-filter tinted hybrid with collagen and barrier actives, who tolerate added fragrance.

03 At-a-glance facts
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid blends both.
Hybrid
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Cream
Finish How the formula looks on skin 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.
Yes
Fragrance-free No synthetic perfume added. Not FDA-defined in the US; the EU requires 'Parfum' + the 26 named allergens on the label. 'Unscented' differs — may contain masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Does not refer to fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which are emollients.
Yes
