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.
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?

A chemical stick built on Uvinul A Plus, bemotrizinol, Uvinul T 150 and Parsol SLX, with camellia and hinoki oils. Bergamot oil plus limonene and linalool are fragrance allergens that limit the stick for sensitive or reactive skin, despite the strong filter set.

Pros
  • Modern filter set: DHHB, BEMT, EHT and Parsol SLX
  • Free of denatured alcohol
  • Camellia and hinoki oils in a portable stick format
  • Centella asiatica extract and panthenol included
Cons
  • Bergamot oil is a known photosensitizer
  • Limonene and linalool are declared fragrance allergens
  • Stick format limits application precision and dose

Who it's for: On-the-go reapplication seekers who want a modern chemical filter blend and tolerate citrus and aromatic fragrance components.
