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.
Chemical
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.
Gel
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?

Japanese chemical gel pairing octinoxate with the modern UVA filters Uvinul A Plus and Parsol SLX in a fragrance-free, alcohol-free silicone base. Adds dipotassium glycyrrhizate and sodium hyaluronate for a smooth, invisible finish.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Modern UVA filter pair (Uvinul A Plus + Parsol SLX)
  • Silicone gel texture for an invisible finish
  • Dipotassium glycyrrhizate as soother
  • Sodium hyaluronate for hydration
Cons
  • Contains octinoxate (endocrine-disruption concern)
  • Dimethicone-heavy may pill under some products
  • Includes BHT antioxidant

Who it's for: For Japanese-filter fans wanting a clear, lightweight gel for daily face wear without fragrance or ethanol; less ideal for those avoiding octinoxate.
