Verdict Should you buy it?

A cooling foam-gel combining EHMC, Uvinul A Plus, Parsol SLX, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide for SPF50+ PA++++. Alcohol sits third in the ingredient list, delivering the cool sensation but a harsh profile for sensitive skin.

Pros
  • Hybrid system: ZnO, TiO2, EHMC, Uvinul A Plus
  • Parsol SLX adds film-forming support
  • Cooling foam texture
  • Alpha-arbutin and chamomile
  • No added fragrance
Cons
  • Ethanol sits high in the ingredient list
  • Citrus peel oil is a contact allergen
  • LPG aerosol coverage is hard to verify
  • May sting compromised barriers

Who it's for: Suits buyers wanting a cooling broad-filter foam-spray and who tolerate alcohol-forward formulas; avoid for sensitive or compromised skin.

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.
Hybrid
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.
Gel
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
