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.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Lotion
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?

An SPF 4 lotion built around ethylhexyl triazone, far below any meaningful daily sun-protection threshold. Fragrance-free with hyaluronate and aloe, this is positioned as a tanning aid rather than a protective sunscreen.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free per the INCI
  • Uvinul T 150 is a modern UVB filter
  • Sodium hyaluronate and aloe support hydration
  • Simple emollient base with tocopherol antioxidant
Cons
  • SPF 4 provides minimal UV protection
  • No declared UVA filter or PA rating
  • BHT preservative present
  • Designed for tanning rather than sun defense

Who it's for: Tanning-oriented users seeking a low-SPF hydrating lotion, not suitable as a daily sunscreen replacement.
