Verdict Should you buy it?

A tinted zinc oxide sunscreen whose published ingredient information reads as marketing copy rather than a complete INCI, leaving most of the formula undisclosed. Score reflects that limited transparency.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide named as the disclosed UV filter
  • Marketed as tinted for face and body use
  • Brand declares the formula fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Niacinamide, glycerin, and aloe noted in the disclosure
Cons
  • Published list is marketing copy, not a complete INCI
  • Bulk of the formula is undisclosed
  • Single disclosed UV filter limits filter diversity
  • Mineral-only at SPF 50 may leave a cast on deeper skin

Who it's for: Mineral-only buyers comfortable with limited ingredient transparency; skip if a complete INCI disclosure is a requirement.

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.
Yes
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.
