01 The score breakdown
UV protection How hard it blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 36
Filter modernity Dings legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen ones. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, and known sensitisers. 42
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. 72
Health safety Endocrine concerns and systemic absorption signals across the whole formula. 45
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.
Cream
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.
Yes
Verdict Is it worth it?

An airy whipped mousse delivering the standard avobenzone, homosalate, octocrylene, and octisalate quartet over a glycerin and aloe base. Niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate add skin support, but added fragrance and the homosalate-octocrylene pairing weigh on the sensitivity and health profile.

Pros
  • Light, airy mousse texture spreads easily without heavy residue
  • Niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate support barrier and hydration
  • Aloe and glycerin keep the base humectant-forward
  • Alcohol-free formulation
Cons
  • Contains fragrance, raising irritation risk on reactive skin
  • Homosalate plus octocrylene carry endocrine-exposure concerns
  • SPF 30 with chemical filters only, no UVA-rating disclosure

Who it's for: Shoppers who want a fragranced, weightless body mousse at SPF 30 and don't mind a conventional US chemical filter set.
