Verdict Should you buy it?

Older-school hybrid leaning on ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene with zinc oxide and a touch of BEMT. The oil- and butter-rich base brings moisture but feels heavy and carries EDC-flag filters.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide plus BEMT add UVA depth
  • Niacinamide included
  • Sodium hyaluronate and shea butter for hydration
  • Fragrance-free
  • Alcohol-free
Cons
  • Contains octinoxate (endocrine concern)
  • Homosalate and octocrylene also flagged
  • Rich oils and butters may feel heavy
  • Beeswax can clash with acne-prone skin

Who it's for: Dry-skin buyers wanting a moisturizer-style sunscreen who are not screening out older organic filters.

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.
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.
Yes
