Verdict Should you buy it?

An alcohol-forward mist using the avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene trio with botanical extracts and a fragrance. It sprays refreshingly cool but the ethanol base and fragrance limit it on sensitive or compromised skin.

Pros
  • Spray format makes reapplication over makeup easy
  • Includes bisabolol, tocopherol, and green tea as antioxidants
  • Fast-drying ethanol vehicle leaves no greasy residue
  • Ethylhexyl methoxycrylene supports avobenzone photostability
Cons
  • Contains denatured alcohol, which can dry and sting
  • Fragranced, raising irritation risk for reactive skin
  • Aerosol mist invites uneven coverage if under-applied
  • Older US filter set offers modest UVA depth

Who it's for: Suited to oily or makeup-wearing users who want a quick midday top-up and tolerate alcohol and fragrance.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 28
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 68
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.
Spray
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.
