Ranks #1517 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Alcohol + cyclopentasiloxane (D5) + fragrance + homosalate 10%. Silky finish but heavy irritation and environmental concern.
Verdict Should you buy it?
A high-SPF aerosol built on a legacy organic filter quartet (avobenzone, homosalate 10%, octisalate, octocrylene) carried in denatured alcohol, cyclopentasiloxane, and added fragrance for a quick-drying silicone finish. The propellant base feels weightless but the formula is sensitizing and dated.
Pros
- High SPF 70 broad-spectrum coverage from a four-filter organic system
- Fast-drying silicone finish dries weightless without visible residue
- Spray format makes body reapplication and large-area coverage easy
- Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) included as an antioxidant
Cons
- Denatured alcohol high in the list is drying and sting-prone
- Added fragrance raises irritation and contact-sensitivity risk
- Homosalate at 10% sits at the upper end of the US allowance
- Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) is a persistent silicone of environmental concern
Who it's for: Body use on healthy, non-reactive skin that wants a fast-drying, high-SPF spray; skip if you have sensitive or fragrance-reactive skin or prefer alcohol-free formulas.

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.
