Verdict Should you buy it?

A glowy tone-up hybrid pairing the US chemical quartet with titanium dioxide and mica for radiance, layered over botanical oils and retinyl palmitate. Cosmetically polished but heavy on fragrance allergens.

Pros
  • Hybrid mineral-chemical system reaches broader UV range
  • Mica and titanium dioxide give a luminous tone-up finish
  • Argan, coconut, and soybean oils add emollience
  • Tocopherol and Korean botanical extracts add antioxidants
Cons
  • Contains parfum plus limonene, citral, and linalool
  • Retinyl palmitate is unstable under sunlight
  • Homosalate raises endocrine concerns at US-cap levels
  • Mica/titanium dioxide can leave cast on deeper skin tones

Who it's for: A user seeking a radiant daytime tone-up SPF and untroubled by perfume and citrus-derived allergens; not for fragrance-sensitive or very deep skin tones.

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.
Glowy
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.
