Verdict Should you buy it?

A US-OTC chemical SPF 50+ pairing the homosalate, octocrylene, octisalate, and avobenzone stack with hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, panthenol, and aloe for hydration. The filter set is dated by global standards, and the formula declares parfum plus PEG emulsifiers.

Pros
  • Multi-form hyaluronic acid plus hydrolyzed collagen for hydration
  • Panthenol and aloe provide humectant support
  • Acrylate film-formers help wear during the day
  • No ethanol or denatured alcohol
Cons
  • Older US filter stack lacks modern UVA depth
  • Added parfum raises sensitization risk
  • Ceteareth-20 and polysorbates may bother PEG-reactive skin
  • No PA rating disclosed

Who it's for: US buyers wanting a hydrating chemical SPF and unbothered by fragrance; not for those tracking endocrine-active filters or seeking EU-grade UVA coverage.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 85
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 38
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 85
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 68
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 52

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.
Chemical
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.
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' 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.
