Ranks #1550 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Alcohol denat + fragrance spray; homosalate 6% lower than line. Low SPF for daily use; light feel.
Verdict Should you buy it?
An alcohol denat spray with avobenzone 3%, homosalate 6%, octisalate 5%, and octocrylene. SPF 15 is low for daily UV defense, and the drying alcohol plus fragrance base sets a notable sensitization profile despite the light feel.
Pros
- Light, fast-drying spray application
- Lower homosalate level than the SPF 30 and 50 sprays
- Tocopherol included as antioxidant
Cons
- Alcohol denat dries skin and can irritate compromised barriers
- Fragrance compounds irritation risk
- SPF 15 offers limited defense for extended exposure
- Legacy filter set with no modern UVA boosters
Who it's for: Casual users wanting a light, fast-drying spray for short, low-intensity sun who tolerate alcohol and fragrance.

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.
Spray
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.
