01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 22
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity plus how biodegradable the UV filters and surfactants are. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, and how it actually feels on skin. 58
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 32
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.
Chemical
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Spray
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.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
No
Verdict Is it worth it?

The line's strongest spray runs homosalate at 15% in an alcohol denat, fragranced base with avobenzone, octisalate, and octocrylene. Invisible wear and easy reapplication come with the highest endocrine-load and irritation profile in the spray range.

Pros
  • Invisible, quick-drying spray finish
  • Higher labeled SPF for prolonged exposure
  • Tocopherol antioxidant included
Cons
  • Homosalate at 15% is the highest endocrine-load tier
  • Alcohol denat dries skin and can irritate compromised barriers
  • Fragrance adds sensitization risk
  • Legacy filter set without modern UVA boosters

Who it's for: Outdoor users prioritizing a high-SPF transparent body spray who accept the alcohol and fragrance trade-offs.
