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.
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?
Silicone-and-wax stick blending octocrylene, octinoxate, octisalate, Tinosorb S, and Uvinul A Plus. Stacked sensitivity flags — fragrance, tea tree oil, and labeled allergens geraniol, citronellol, and hexyl cinnamal — weigh heavily against the filter strength.
Pros
- Includes modern Bemotrizinol and Uvinul A Plus
- Portable stick format, PA++++
- Silicone-and-wax base resists migration
Cons
- Contains octinoxate — coral-reef and endocrine concerns
- Fragrance plus tea tree oil and three EU-listed allergens
- High sensitivity load for reactive skin
- Stick format makes full coverage hard to verify
Who it's for: Portability-first users without sensitive skin who tolerate fragrance and essential oils; reactive skin should avoid.
