Verdict Should you buy it?

Brightening cream with octinoxate and Uvinul A Plus as the only UV filters; ethanol sits high in the ingredient list and fragrance is added. Ceramide NG, squalane, and centella give the base real skincare merit but cannot offset the filter and sensitivity trade-offs.

Pros
  • Ceramide NG and squalane
  • Centella and hydrolyzed collagen
  • Sodium hyaluronate and lecithin
  • Ergothioneine antioxidant
Cons
  • Octinoxate as a core UV filter
  • Ethanol high in ingredient list
  • Added fragrance
  • Only two UV filters listed

Who it's for: Buyers prioritizing brightening and barrier actives over filter modernity; not for ethanol- or octinoxate-averse users.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 98
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 75
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 35
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 65
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 70
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 48

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.
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.
