Verdict Should you buy it?

A pure zinc oxide stick with no chemical filters, balanced by camellia seed oil, shea butter, and a hyaluronic-acid and collagen crosspolymer. Fragrance-free and alcohol-free, but the waxy ester base and mineral-only filter can drag and read white on application.

Pros
  • Sole filter is zinc oxide for broad mineral coverage
  • Fragrance-free and free of drying alcohol
  • Camellia oil and shea butter for emollience
  • Camellia leaf water and hyaluronic crosspolymer
  • Convenient on-the-go stick format
Cons
  • Visible white cast likely, especially on deeper tones
  • Waxy texture can drag on dry or mature skin
  • Stick application is harder over makeup

Who it's for: Mineral-only users who want a fragrance-free zinc oxide stick for touch-ups and accept a noticeable white cast and waxy finish.

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.
Stick
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.
