Verdict Should you buy it?

A fragrance-free chemical stick using avobenzone with octocrylene as a stabilizer, but homosalate sits very high in the formula. The waxy, oil-rich base delivers strong UV coverage at the cost of an older filter mix.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free chemical stick
  • Avobenzone stabilized by octocrylene
  • Squalane, argan, and tamanu oils add emolliency
  • Includes ceramide NP and peptides
  • Convenient stick format for touch-ups
Cons
  • Homosalate very high in the ingredient list
  • Octocrylene carries benzophenone-degradation concerns
  • Heavy waxy/oily base may feel occlusive
  • Older chemical filter blend overall

Who it's for: Drier skin that wants a portable chemical stick and is comfortable with homosalate and octocrylene.

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.
Chemical
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
