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.
Mineral
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?

A pure mineral SPF 50 PA++++ from zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with a botanical-heavy base. No added fragrance, but a dense essential oil load (tea tree, rosemary, peppermint, lemongrass, lavender) substantially raises irritation risk.

Pros
  • ZnO plus TiO2 give broad-spectrum mineral coverage with PA++++
  • No added fragrance or denatured alcohol
  • Glycyrrhetinate, centella, and hyaluronate add humectant support
  • Mineral filter pair scores well on environmental safety
Cons
  • Heavy essential oil load (tea tree, peppermint, lavender, rosemary)
  • Mineral cream can feel dense and leave a slight cast
  • Multiple fragrant plant extracts limit truly sensitive-skin use

Who it's for: Mineral filter users without reactivity to essential oils who want high SPF and PA++++ in a botanical-forward base.
