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.
Yes
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.
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?

Oil-wax stick built on 20.6% zinc oxide with shea, cocoa, and jojoba esters. Heavy and occlusive with white-cast potential, but a clean profile for reactive skin and outdoor reapplication.

Pros
  • 20.6% zinc oxide single-filter coverage
  • Shea butter, cocoa butter, and jojoba esters for emollience
  • Bisabolol for soothing support
  • Alcohol-free and free of added fragrance
  • Stick format for targeted reapplication outdoors
Cons
  • Heavy, occlusive feel ill-suited to oily skin
  • Noticeable white-cast on medium and deeper tones
  • Slow coverage over larger body areas

Who it's for: Outdoor users with dry or sensitive skin wanting a single-filter zinc stick for nose, ears, and shoulders.
