Verdict Should you buy it?

An SPF 70 chemical face lotion whose published ingredient list only names the actives (avobenzone with homosalate at 15%, octisalate and octocrylene). With no inactive ingredients disclosed, formula nuance, soothing agents and allergens cannot be assessed.

Pros
  • High labeled SPF 70 with avobenzone for UVA coverage
  • Octocrylene typically helps photostabilize avobenzone
  • Lotion format suited to face application
Cons
  • Inactive ingredient list is not disclosed in the data
  • Homosalate at 15% is at the upper US allowance
  • Four organic filters layered, raising sensitivity risk
  • Cannot verify fragrance- or alcohol-free status from data shown

Who it's for: Buyers prioritizing very high labeled SPF on the face who accept an undisclosed inactive list and a homosalate-heavy filter stack.

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.
Chemical
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.
