Verdict Should you buy it?

US chemical oil with avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene, blended into a jojoba and grapeseed oil base. The declared allergen load — linalool, limonene, coumarin, bergamot, hexyl cinnamal, and more — is heavy regardless of the gentle product naming.

Pros
  • Oil format delivers an invisible, glossy finish
  • Bakuchiol and tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate in the base
  • Bisabolol included as a calming agent
  • Alcohol-free with no ethanol
Cons
  • Fragrance plus a long list of declared allergens
  • Bergamot peel oil can be photosensitizing
  • Includes homosalate among the filters
  • SPF 45 sits below the SPF 50 mainstream tier

Who it's for: Adults wanting a glossy oil finish and tolerating heavy fragrance and citrus oils; the formulation is not suited to infant or sensitive skin.

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.
Matte
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.
