Ranks #1529 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Despite the name, fragranced chemical body oil with high homosalate and floral extracts; not actually gentle for sensitive or pediatric use.
Composite is a weighted blend: UV 25% · Modernity 10% · Sensitivity 15% · Environment 10% · Elegance 15% · Health 25%.
Verdict Should you buy it?

Despite the nostalgic name, this is a fragranced chemical body oil carrying ~9.8% homosalate alongside the rest of the filter quartet and a bouquet of jasmine, calendula, and chamomile extracts. The oil texture is appealing, but the formula is not formulated for sensitive or pediatric skin in any meaningful sense.

Pros
  • Lightweight body oil format glides over large areas easily
  • Bisabolol, calendula, and chamomile lean into a soothing positioning
  • Rosehip, jojoba, and safflower oils add a conditioning emollient base
  • Tocopherol contributes antioxidant support
  • Alcohol-free formulation
Cons
  • Contains fragrance, undermining any sensitive-skin framing
  • Roughly 9.8% homosalate is a heavy load for repeat application
  • Floral and jasmine extracts add further irritation potential
  • Despite the name, not appropriate for infants or young children

Who it's for: Adults who want a scented, oil-format SPF 30 for the body and should not be interpreted as a baby- or sensitive-skin product.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 36
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 32
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 62
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 40
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.
No
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.
