Ranks #1485 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Higher-filter alcohol spray with fragrance; same drying/inhalation issues compounded by larger homosalate dose.

01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 26
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity plus how biodegradable the UV filters and surfactants are. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, and how it actually feels on skin. 65
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 38
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.
Chemical
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Spray
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.
No
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?

SPF 50 alcohol-denat spray adding homosalate at 8.8% on top of the same avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene quartet, plus fragrance. Quick-dry feel, but the bigger filter dose compounds the drying, inhalation, and sensitivity penalties from the SPF 30 sibling.

Pros
  • Higher SPF 50 protection level
  • Quick-drying spray format
  • Aloe, shea oil, and tocopherol in the base
  • Ethylhexyl methoxycrylene added as a photostabilizer
Cons
  • Alcohol denat drying and stripping on skin
  • Fragrance plus aerosolized filters compound inhalation concerns
  • Homosalate at 8.8% raises endocrine concerns
  • No modern broad-spectrum UVA filters

Who it's for: Body-spray buyers wanting higher SPF who accept drying alcohol, fragrance, and inhalation exposure; not for sensitive, dry, or fragrance-avoidant skin.
