Ranks #931 of 1558 in the current catalogue. All-mineral, alcohol-free, fragrance-free; butyloctyl salicylate aids spread but mineral lotion at SPF 60 risks white cast on deeper tones.
Verdict Should you buy it?
An all-mineral SPF 60+ lotion with no denatured alcohol and no added fragrance. Butyloctyl salicylate aids spread and helps soften white cast, but pushing mineral filters to SPF 60+ still risks visible cast on medium and deep skin tones.
Pros
- All-mineral filter system suits sensitive and reactive skin
- Free of denatured alcohol and added fragrance
- Butyloctyl salicylate helps spread and reduces visible cast
- Botanical extracts add antioxidant support
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizate and glucosylrutin soothe
Cons
- High-SPF mineral lotion still risks white cast on deeper tones
- Mineral lotions can feel heavier than chemical alternatives
- Phenoxyethanol may bother very reactive skin
Who it's for: Sensitive-skin buyers, especially on light-to-medium tones, wanting a fragrance-free all-mineral daily lotion at the high end of US SPF.

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.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Lotion
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.
