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.
Stick
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.
Yes
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 anhydrous zinc oxide stick built on coconut, avocado and meadowfoam oils plus rice bran and carnauba waxes, with bisabolol and tocopherol. Fragrance-free and alcohol-free, but the waxy mineral finish is heavy and best suited to spot use.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide as the sole filter
  • Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, preservative-free anhydrous base
  • Plant oils and waxes for a cushioned feel
  • Bisabolol and tocopherol for soothing and antioxidant support
  • Stick format is travel- and TSA-friendly
Cons
  • Waxy stick texture drags and can pill
  • Heavy white cast typical of high-zinc sticks
  • Hard to apply an even, sufficient layer over large areas

Who it's for: Caregivers wanting a clean, fragrance-free stick for targeted touch-ups on noses, ears and cheeks, not full-body coverage.
