Verdict Should you buy it?

A single-filter zinc oxide mineral cream layered with chickweed, centella, aloe ferox, and lactobacillus ferment for calming. The composition is short and clean — fragrance-free, alcohol-free — though a single-filter mineral SPF 50 trades some elegance for that simplicity.

Pros
  • Single-filter zinc oxide suits reactive skin
  • Soothing extracts: chickweed, centella, aloe ferox
  • Niacinamide for tone and barrier support
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free per the INCI
Cons
  • Single mineral filter can leave a faint cast on deeper tones
  • Mineral cream typically feels heavier than chemical equivalents

Who it's for: Reactive, sensitive, or barrier-impaired skin that prefers an all-mineral SPF and accepts a slightly heavier feel.

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.
