Verdict Should you buy it?

A zinc oxide and titanium dioxide mineral base with calamine and salicylic acid aimed at oil and blemish control. Fragrance is present in the INCI, and PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate adds a health-axis penalty.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide give broad mineral cover
  • Calamine and salicylic acid target oily, blemish-prone skin
  • Niacinamide, panthenol, and centella for soothing
  • Silicone-rich base for a smooth matte finish
Cons
  • Fragrance is present in the INCI
  • Salicylic acid may sting reactive or compromised skin
  • PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate flagged on health axis
  • Untinted mineral load can leave a cast

Who it's for: For oily or blemish-prone skin tolerant of fragrance and BHA who want a mineral SPF with sebum and breakout focus.

03 At-a-glance facts
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid blends both.
Mineral
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Cream
Finish How the formula looks on skin 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' differs — may contain masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Does not refer to fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which are emollients.
