01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 36
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 78
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. 55
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 75
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.
Mineral
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.
Lotion
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.
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?

Untinted 16% zinc oxide lotion in a fatty-alcohol and botanical base with bisabolol and astaxanthin. Clean preservation, but a noticeable white-cast on deeper tones and a modest UVA ceiling at SPF 30.

Pros
  • 16% zinc oxide as the single mineral filter
  • Bisabolol and astaxanthin for calming and antioxidant support
  • Free of added fragrance and denatured alcohol
  • Caprylhydroxamic acid and caprylyl glycol preservation
Cons
  • Visible white-cast on medium and deeper skin tones
  • SPF 30 gives a modest overall UV ceiling
  • Rich, slightly waxy lotion feel under makeup

Who it's for: Sensitive or fair-skinned users wanting a single-filter zinc lotion who prioritize a calming base over an invisible finish.
