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.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Essence
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.
Yes
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?

Anhydrous stick pairing octinoxate, avobenzone, and Parsol SLX with ceramide NP, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, and ascorbyl glucoside. Fragrance-free and alcohol-free, though BHT and the octinoxate–avobenzone combination temper the safety profile.

Pros
  • Alcohol-free and fragrance-free
  • Includes tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and ascorbyl glucoside
  • Ceramide NP and squalane support the skin barrier
  • Stick format for compact carry
Cons
  • Octinoxate and avobenzone pairing raises stability and endocrine concerns
  • BHT included as an antioxidant
  • Compact 15g size limits coverage

Who it's for: Users wanting a fragrance-free, antioxidant-leaning stick SPF for travel or top-ups who accept the chemical filter set.
