Verdict Should you buy 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.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 76
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 50
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 60
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 60
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.
Chemical
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
No
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.
Yes
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.
