Verdict Should you buy it?

Tinted hybrid cream using the modern EU filter trio DHHB, Bemotrizinol, and Uvinul T 150 alongside zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Iron oxides provide the tint, but the base contains fragrance, ethanol, and a long botanical list.

Pros
  • Modern EU filter stack: DHHB, Bemotrizinol, Uvinul T 150
  • Iron-oxide tint helps neutralize white cast
  • Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide both present
  • Niacinamide and centella support actives
Cons
  • Contains fragrance and ethanol
  • Very long extract list increases cumulative allergen load
  • Single fixed shade may not match all complexions

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a tinted broad-spectrum cream on a modern filter profile who can accept fragrance and ethanol in the base.

03 At-a-glance facts
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid blends both.
Hybrid
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Cream
Finish How the formula looks on skin 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' differs — may contain masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Does not refer to fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which are emollients.
No
