Ranks #517 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Mineral cushion with elegant silicone/ester base; contains alcohol denat and essential oils that modestly lower sensitivity tolerance.
Verdict Should you buy it?
US mineral cushion built on zinc oxide with ethylhexyl methoxycrylene as a stability booster and a silicone-ester base for spreadability. The formula adds denatured alcohol and pine, chamomile, and rosemary oils that the alcohol-free global version avoids.
Pros
- Single-filter zinc oxide system, no organic UV chemistries
- Silicone-ester base spreads more easily than typical mineral creams
- Cushion delivery suits over-makeup touch-ups
- Calming aloe, allantoin, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate
Cons
- Contains denatured alcohol, which can dry or sting reactive skin
- Pine, chamomile, and similar oils raise the sensitivity floor
- Zinc-only filter can leave a visible cast on deeper tones
- No PA rating to confirm UVA grading
Who it's for: US shoppers wanting a non-organic-filter cushion and tolerant of denatured alcohol and essential-oil botanicals.

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.
Cushion
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.
