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.
Hybrid
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.
Cream
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.
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' 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.
No
Verdict Is it worth it?

Tinted hybrid makeup-base SPF with zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, octinoxate, and octisalate plus added fragrance, BHT, and denatured alcohol. The format is elegant but the formula stacks several sensitizers.

Pros
  • Tinted to mask mineral cast
  • Niacinamide and adenosine included
  • Hybrid filter mix targets UVA and UVB
  • Ferment filtrate, centella, and licorice extracts
Cons
  • Contains octinoxate, fragrance, BHT, and denatured alcohol
  • Denatured alcohol may dry out reactive skin
  • Silicone-heavy base may not suit dry skin
  • Multiple sensitizers compound reactivity risk

Who it's for: Oilier skin wanting a tinted makeup-base SPF who tolerate alcohol, fragrance, BHT, and octinoxate.
