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.
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?

The Japan-domestic label of the Base Clear tone-up sunscreen — the same hybrid filter set with the lemon, camphor, cardamom, bitter orange, and mandarin oil scent profile and an octinoxate-led active list.

Pros
  • Hybrid filters spanning mineral and modern (TiO2, ZnO, BEMT, Uvinul A Plus)
  • Tone-up finish for evening base
  • Calendula and sage soothing extracts
  • Bis-glyceryl ascorbate and glyceryl glucoside support skin
Cons
  • Contains octinoxate
  • Heavy citrus and camphor essential-oil scent
  • Cold-pressed citrus oils can be photosensitizing
  • Talc inclusion will not suit all preferences

Who it's for: JP-domestic shoppers who want a tone-up base and tolerate essential-oil scents and octinoxate.
