Verdict Should you buy it?

A tinted version of the BB Amino base with the same modern filter trio plus iron oxides and layered hyaluronic acid forms. The tint helps mask any filter cast, and the formula skips octinoxate and added fragrance.

Pros
  • Modern filter set, no octinoxate or octocrylene
  • Fragrance-free with iron oxide tint
  • Multiple hyaluronic acid forms plus panthenol for hydration
  • Squalane and bisabolol soothe and condition
  • Tocopheryl acetate and ubiquinone as antioxidants
Cons
  • O-cymen-5-ol may irritate sensitive skin
  • Single tint shade limits skin-tone matching
  • Propylene glycol present higher in the formula

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a lightly tinted modern-filter sunscreen who can tolerate o-cymen-5-ol.

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.
Chemical
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.
Cream
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.
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' 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.
