Verdict Should you buy it?
Modern filter blend pairing Tinosorb S, Tinosorb M, DHHB, and Polysilicone-15 with a hydrating base of sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and panthenol. Octisalate and homosalate keep the health-safety score mid-tier, but the formula is fragrance- and denatured-alcohol-free.
Pros
- Tinosorb S, Tinosorb M, DHHB, and Polysilicone-15 cover broad UVA/UVB
- Fragrance-free and free of denatured alcohol
- Sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and panthenol for humectant support
- Soothing extras include bamboo water, aloe, and tocopherol
Cons
- Contains homosalate and octisalate, both flagged for endocrine concerns
- Cream texture can feel heavier than a fluid under makeup
- Long botanical extract list raises patch-test odds for reactive skin
Who it's for: Buyers who want a hydrating Korean chemical sunscreen with modern UV filters and a clean sensory profile, and who do not avoid the salicylate-class 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.
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
