01 The score breakdown
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.
Stick
Finish How it looks once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Glowy
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.
Yes
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
Yes
Verdict Is it worth it?
Oil-based stick using avobenzone, octisalate, and octocrylene in a calophyllum and meadowfoam oil bed. Skips homosalate, fragrance, and denatured alcohol, but the rich oil load yields a glowy, greasy finish.
Pros
- Avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene without homosalate
- Alcohol-free and free of added fragrance
- Stick format for targeted reapplication
- Tocopherol and diethylhexyl syringylidenemalonate antioxidants
Cons
- Heavy oil base leaves a greasy, glowy finish
- Calophyllum and meadowfoam oils may not suit oily skin
- Slow to cover larger body areas evenly
Who it's for: Dry-skin users wanting a fragrance-free, alcohol-free stick for face or shoulder touchups who welcome a dewy, oily finish.
