Verdict Should you buy it?

Simple TiO2-only mineral cream on a potassium-soap emulsifier base with squalane, shea butter, and botanical extracts. Fragrance-free, but ethanol sits at the tail of the list. The soap base and TiO2-only filtering trade elegance for simplicity.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free
  • Shea butter and squalane add emolliency
  • Soothing botanicals including chamomile and licorice derivative
  • Short, plant-leaning ingredient list
Cons
  • Ethanol present at the end of the INCI list
  • TiO2-only filter at SPF30/PA++ is moderate
  • Soap-based emulsion can feel draggy or chalky

Who it's for: Buyers preferring a minimalist plant-leaning mineral SPF and willing to accept a heavier, less refined finish.

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.
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.
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.
No
