Verdict Should you buy it?

A cooling, mineral-oil and petrolatum-rich essence pairing avobenzone, octisalate, and PBSA for PA++++ UVA. The menthol and fragrance deliver the brand's signature freshness but pile on sensitizers.

Pros
  • PA++++ rating signals strong UVA protection
  • Petrolatum and mineral oil add occlusive moisture
  • Niacinamide and sodium ascorbyl phosphate aid brightening goals
  • Lightweight essence texture spreads easily
  • Affordable, widely available across Asian markets
Cons
  • Menthol can sting compromised or sensitive skin
  • Fragranced, adding another irritation vector
  • PEG-100 stearate and emulsifier load may not suit acne-prone users
  • Filter set is older despite the PA++++ claim

Who it's for: A budget-tier daily option for normal-to-dry skin that enjoys a cooling sensation and tolerates fragrance and menthol.

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.
Essence
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.
