01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 76
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 50
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity plus how biodegradable the UV filters and surfactants are. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, and how it actually feels on skin. 60
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 60
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.
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?

Marketed as SPF 51 PA++++, but the disclosed INCI shows no recognizable UV filters — only oils, extracts, and texturizers. Grapefruit peel oil and limonene further add a photosensitization risk.

Pros
  • Niacinamide, panax ginseng, and pomegranate added as skin-care extras
  • Free of ethanol and added fragrance per the disclosed INCI
  • Tocopherol and adenosine included as supportive actives
Cons
  • Disclosed INCI shows no recognizable UV filters
  • Grapefruit peel oil and limonene add photosensitization risk
  • Stated SPF and PA cannot be verified against the formula provided

Who it's for: Hard to recommend until the ingredient disclosure is corrected; the formula as written cannot deliver the claimed protection.
