Verdict Should you buy it?

Single-filter zinc-oxide formula layered with five sh-peptides, ceramide NP, bifida and lactobacillus ferment lysates, centella triterpenes and beta-glucan. Fragrance-free, though peppermint, lavender and rosemary extracts can still sensitize.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free per the listed INCI
  • Zinc oxide as the sole UV filter
  • Five sh-peptides plus ceramide NP
  • Bifida and lactobacillus ferment lysates
  • Beta-glucan, centella and panthenol
Cons
  • Peppermint, lavender, rosemary may sensitize
  • Single-filter ZnO can leave residual cast
  • Heavily siloxane-based vehicle
  • Sorbitan sesquioleate is moderately comedogenic

Who it's for: Barrier-focused buyers wanting a fragrance-free single-filter mineral with peptides who don't react to herbal extracts.

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.
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.
