Ranks #1136 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Heavy essential oil load including bergamot leaf and moringa; homosalate and octocrylene concerns; reasonably elegant primer texture.
Verdict Should you buy it?
A chemical primer-sunscreen built on homosalate, octocrylene, octisalate, and avobenzone in a silicone-rich, makeup-gripping base. Cica derivatives target calming, but the older filter set carries endocrine concerns and the bergamot leaf extract adds a sensitivity flag.
Pros
- Primer-style silicone texture grips and extends makeup wear
- Cica complex (madecassoside, asiaticoside, asiatic acid) for calming
- PA++++ rating with strong UVA coverage
- Multiple hyaluronic acid forms for surface hydration
Cons
- Homosalate, octocrylene, octisalate flagged for endocrine concern
- Bergamot leaf extract is a sensitivity and photosensitivity flag
- Heavy silicone primer base may not suit oilier skin
Who it's for: Makeup wearers wanting a primer-sunscreen hybrid who prioritize cica soothing over modern filter chemistry.

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.
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.
