Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity plus how biodegradable the UV filters and surfactants are. 65

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.
Hybrid
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.
Milk
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.
No
Verdict Is it worth it?

Hybrid milk pairing zinc oxide with octinoxate and Bemotrizinol, plus niacinamide and retinyl palmitate. Fragrance-free, but ethanol sits high in the list and iodopropynyl butylcarbamate adds a known preservative sensitizer.

Pros
  • Hybrid system includes Bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S) for UVA
  • Fragrance-free formula
  • Niacinamide and centella for skin support
  • Lighter wear than an all-mineral milk
Cons
  • Ethanol ranks high in the INCI list
  • Contains octinoxate, a legacy UVB filter
  • Retinyl palmitate raises photo-sensitivity questions
  • Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate is a known sensitizer

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a lighter Japanese mineral-hybrid SPF who tolerate alcohol-forward textures; not suited to sensitive or reactive skin.
