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.
Mineral
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.
No
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?

An all-mineral cream from Shiseido's botanical BAUM line, built on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with squalane, argan and jojoba oils. Ethanol-free with a botanical character, but the dense mineral base risks visible cast and fragrance limits reactive-skin use.

Pros
  • Mineral-only filters with ZnO leading the INCI
  • Ethanol-free formula
  • Squalane, argan and jojoba oils as emollients
  • Tocopherol antioxidant included
  • PA++++ UVA grade
Cons
  • Contains fragrance, limiting reactive-skin use
  • Dense mineral cream prone to white cast
  • Heavier cream texture less suited to oily skin
  • BHT present in the stabilizer system

Who it's for: Normal to dry-skin wearers who want a botanical-leaning mineral cream and don't mind fragrance or a heavier base.
