01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 42
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. 50
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.
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?

Avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene stick base loaded with citrus, eucalyptus, rosewood, basil, and patchouli essential oils plus limonene. The dry, portable format and SPF 50 are useful, but the essential-oil blend pulls sensitivity to the bottom of this lineup.

Pros
  • SPF 50 in a pocketable stick for on-the-go touch-ups
  • Tocopherol plus coconut and sunflower oils as conditioners
  • Avobenzone provides UVA coverage in the chemical system
  • Wax base resists migration and pocket smearing
Cons
  • Multiple essential oils and limonene raise irritation risk
  • Older organic-filter set with no modern UV technology
  • 7% homosalate raises endocrine-disruption concern
  • Citrus oils can be phototoxic on prolonged sun exposure

Who it's for: Active users wanting quick stick reapplication who tolerate scented essential-oil blends and don't have reactive or fragrance-triggered skin.
