Ranks #1004 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Standard US organic filter quartet in a hydrating, fragrance-free, alcohol-free base with peptides and HA. Homosalate is the main health-axis penalty.
Verdict Should you buy it?
A dewy SPF 50 primer using avobenzone, homosalate 9%, octisalate, and octocrylene over a hydrating base with peptides, tremella, hyaluronic acid, and bisabolol. Fragrance- and alcohol-free, with a short and well-edited ingredient list.
Pros
- SPF 50 broad-spectrum with the standard US filter quartet
- Fragrance-free and alcohol-free, low-irritant base
- Palmitoyl tripeptide-5 plus hyaluronic acid for skincare value
- Bisabolol and tremella extract add soothing hydration
- Concise INCI keeps the sensitization surface area small
Cons
- Homosalate at 9% remains the main health-axis concern
- Octocrylene degrades to benzophenone over time in formula
- Filter system is dated relative to modern EU options
- Dewy primer finish may not suit very oily skin
Who it's for: For normal-to-dry skin wanting a hydrating primer-style SPF 50 that layers well under makeup; less suited to those avoiding homosalate or wanting a matte finish.

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.
Cream
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.
