Verdict Should you buy it?

A US-compliant 100% mineral SPF 50 built on titanium dioxide with an iron oxide tint that softens white cast. Antioxidants like astaxanthin, ascorbyl palmitate, and ethyl ferulate add support, but clove bud and goldenrod extracts plus a single-filter system cap both sensitivity tolerance and UVA performance.

Pros
  • Tinted with iron oxides to mask mineral cast
  • Free of added fragrance and ethanol
  • Astaxanthin, ascorbyl palmitate, and ethyl ferulate as antioxidants
  • Glucoside emulsifiers and lightweight C13-15 alkane base
Cons
  • Single UV filter (titanium dioxide) limits UVA breadth
  • Clove bud and goldenrod extracts are known sensitizers
  • No PA rating disclosed on packaging
  • Cream finish on a mineral base limits elegance

Who it's for: US shoppers who want a tinted mineral daily wear and aren't reactive to botanical extracts; less suited to skin needing deep UVA coverage.

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.
Mineral
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.

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.
Yes
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.
