Verdict Should you buy it?

A mint-green hybrid SPF50+/PA++++ tone-up combining titanium dioxide with octinoxate, avobenzone, Uvinul A Plus, and octocrylene. Broad UVA coverage comes packaged with alcohol denat., fragrance, citrus oil, and methylparaben.

Pros
  • Five-filter system delivers high SPF and strong UVA coverage
  • Mint-green pigment helps neutralize redness on fair skin
  • Gel texture and dimethicone aim for a light, smooth finish
  • Compact 70g tube travels well
  • Job's tears and botanical extracts add hydration cues
Cons
  • Added fragrance and citrus peel oil raise sensitization risk
  • Alcohol denat. listed third may feel drying on dehydrated skin
  • Octinoxate is restricted in several markets over endocrine concerns
  • Methylparaben and azo dyes (CI 19140, CI 42090) included

Who it's for: Suits resilient skin wanting strong SPF plus green color-correction in a small tube; not for fragrance- or alcohol-sensitive users.

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.
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.
