UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 100
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 85
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 76
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity plus how biodegradable the UV filters and surfactants are. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, and how it actually feels on skin. 70

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.
Hybrid
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.
Cream
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?

A six-filter hybrid cream pairing TiO2 and ZnO with bemotrizinol, DHHB, ethylhexyl triazone, and PBSA. Built for sensitive skin with no fragrance or ethanol; heavy PEG castor oil emulsifiers are the main trade-off.

Pros
  • Six filters across mineral and modern chemical types
  • Fragrance-free and free of denatured alcohol
  • TiO2/ZnO base supports sensitive-skin tolerance
  • Tocopherol and dipropylene glycol for slip
  • Sodium metabisulfite suggests filter-stability handling
Cons
  • Mineral filters can leave a slight cast on deeper skin
  • Heavy PEG-60 and PEG-100 hydrogenated castor oil content
  • Cream texture may feel rich on oily skin

Who it's for: Sensitive-skin or post-procedure users wanting a multi-filter hybrid with no fragrance or ethanol; not the lightest option for oily skin.
