Verdict Should you buy it?

A silicone-rich fluid combining zinc oxide, TiO2, octinoxate, octocrylene, Bemotrizinol, and Uvinul A Plus with denatured alcohol for a quick-dry finish. Fragrance brings limonene, citronellol, citral, and geraniol, plus BHT.

Pros
  • Six-filter blend includes zinc oxide and TiO2
  • Quick-drying silicone fluid feel
  • Niacinamide and adenosine in the base
  • Mica and boron nitride soften appearance
Cons
  • Denatured alcohol can dry or irritate
  • Octinoxate and octocrylene raise environmental flags
  • Fragrance with multiple declared allergens
  • BHT antioxidant draws sensitivity concerns

Who it's for: Oily or combination skin wanting a fast-set, lightly tone-evening fluid and tolerant of alcohol and fragrance; skip if your skin is dry, sensitive, or fragrance-reactive.

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.
