01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 62
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. 60
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 30
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?

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.
