Ranks #1205 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Alcohol denat plus extensive allergen panel (benzyl salicylate, citronellol, hydroxycitronellal, hexyl cinnamal, geraniol, alpha-isomethyl ionone, linalool); herbal-heavy.
Composite is a weighted blend: UV 25% · Modernity 10% · Sensitivity 15% · Environment 10% · Elegance 15% · Health 25%. That's the recipe.
01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 76
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 35
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. 72
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 55
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.
Essence
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.
Yes
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?

Serum-infused cream loaded with traditional botanical extracts and ascorbyl palmitate, but the resolved UV filter list is empty and UV protection scores the lowest of this group. Alcohol denat. and Fragrance with eight declared allergens further drag sensitivity scores.

Pros
  • Extensive botanical complex including ginseng and peony
  • Ceramide NP, cholesterol, and acetyl hexapeptide-8 in the base
  • PA++++ rating claimed at SPF 51
Cons
  • Resolved UV filter list is empty and UV score is the lowest here
  • Contains alcohol denat. (drying alcohol)
  • Fragrance with eight declared allergens
  • Long extract list widens the reactivity surface area

Who it's for: Buyers prioritizing botanical complexity and tone-up tint who do not react to alcohol or fragrance allergens.
