Verdict Should you buy it?

A mineral cushion built around centella, ceramide NP, and madecassoside, with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as filters. The barrier-care intent is undermined by a multi-oil essential-oil blend.

Pros
  • Mineral-only zinc and titanium filter system
  • Centella complex with madecassoside and asiaticoside
  • Ceramide NP and cholesterol support the skin barrier
  • Cushion format aids precise reapplication
Cons
  • Lavender, bergamot, rosemary, chamomile essential oils
  • Naturally occurring limonene and linalool present
  • Bergamot oil may raise photo-sensitivity questions
  • Cushion delivery can be hard to apply at sufficient dose

Who it's for: For mineral fans wanting cica and ceramide support, provided essential oils are tolerated.

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.
Mineral
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.
Cushion
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.
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' differs — may contain masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
Yes
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.
