Verdict Should you buy it?

All-mineral cream pairing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in a silicone vehicle, supported by ceramide NP, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and squalane. Iron oxides provide tint and the formula is alcohol-free and fragrance-free — one of the cleaner mineral profiles in this batch.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad mineral coverage
  • Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (stable vitamin C derivative) included
  • Alcohol-free and fragrance-free
  • Iron-oxide tint for tone match
  • Silicone vehicle reduces typical mineral cast
Cons
  • Mineral-only — no organic UVA filter to deepen coverage
  • Multiple botanical extracts (morus alba, geranium, rosa roxburghii)
  • Premium positioning typical of small niche brands

Who it's for: Sensitive or reactive skin wanting a tinted all-mineral cream with stable vitamin C and ceramide NP in a smooth silicone base.

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.
Mineral
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.
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.
Yes
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.
Yes
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.
