Verdict Should you buy it?

An oil-free emulsion built on a six-filter modern system — zinc oxide, octocrylene, Parsol SLX, titanium dioxide, bemotrizinol, and Uvinul T 150 — backed by ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate and botanical extracts. Ethanol, fragrance, and a cooling menthol derivative complicate the picture for reactive skin.

Pros
  • Six modern filters span UVA1 (BEMT, Parsol SLX) through UVB
  • Oil-free emulsion suits sebum-prone urban skin
  • Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate adds stable vitamin C
  • Botanical blend includes ginger, green tea, and peony root
  • Octocrylene helps photostabilize the chemical filters
Cons
  • Ethanol prominent in the upper INCI block
  • Synthetic fragrance is an irritation trigger
  • Menthoxypropanediol may sting compromised skin
  • Octocrylene can degrade into benzophenone over time

Who it's for: Oily, urban-skin buyers wanting modern broad-spectrum UV defense with antioxidant extras, comfortable with ethanol, fragrance, and a cooling sensation.

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.
Hybrid
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.
No
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.
