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.
Mineral
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Cushion
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?

Zinc oxide + titanium dioxide cushion delivering high broad-spectrum protection on a calming botanical base of aloe, birch juice, hyaluronic acid, and licorice root. The all-mineral filter load and cushion format trade some cosmetic finish for clean, reapply-friendly convenience.

Pros
  • All-mineral ZnO + TiO2 system with PA++++ UVA labeling
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free per INCI
  • Hyaluronic acid, aloe, and allantoin support a calming base
  • Cushion format eases mid-day reapplication over makeup
Cons
  • Two-mineral filter mix typically leaves a light cast on deeper tones
  • Cushion delivery makes hitting a full UV dose harder than a cream
  • No niacinamide or peptides for buyers seeking active ingredients

Who it's for: Sensitive or mineral-only buyers who want a fragrance-free, reapply-friendly cushion and can tolerate a slight cast in exchange for an all-mineral filter system.
