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.
Stick
Finish How it looks once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Matte
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?
A fragrance-free chemical stick on avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene, set with silica and waxes for a matte, grippy finish. Salicylic acid adds slip but limits use on freshly exfoliated skin.
Pros
- Fragrance-free per the INCI
- Silica and behenyl behenate create a true matte finish
- Stick format suits targeted reapplication over makeup
- Ethylhexyl methoxycrylene helps stabilize avobenzone
Cons
- Salicylic acid may sting freshly exfoliated skin
- Waxy texture can feel heavy and grabby on dry skin
- Older US filter set rather than modern UVA options
Who it's for: Oily or combination skin wanting matte SPF touch-ups on the go, tolerant of salicylic acid.
