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. 22
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. 52
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 40
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.
Spray
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.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
No
Verdict Is it worth it?

An alcohol-denat face mist with avobenzone, octisalate, and octocrylene loaded with fragrance and limonene, benzyl salicylate, and coumarin. Convenience aside, this is one of the more irritation-prone formats here.

Pros
  • Mist format is convenient for touch-ups
  • Alcohol base dries quickly and feels invisible
  • Avobenzone provides UVA coverage
  • Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate adds an antioxidant note
Cons
  • Contains denatured alcohol
  • Contains fragrance with limonene, benzyl salicylate, coumarin
  • Mist format is prone to under-application versus label SPF
  • High sting potential around eyes and on compromised skin

Who it's for: A buyer who specifically wants a face-mist SPF for fast top-ups and is untroubled by alcohol and multiple fragrance allergens.
