Verdict Should you buy it?
Tinted hybrid base built on octisalate, homosalate, bemotrizinol, tinosorb M, DHHB, and titanium dioxide. Iron oxides and silicones give a smooth tone-up finish, but added Fragrance limits sensitive-skin fit.
Pros
- Broad modern filter stack alongside titanium dioxide
- Iron oxides and ultramarines provide tonal correction
- Niacinamide included for tone support
- Lightweight base suited to under-makeup wear
Cons
- Contains homosalate, a filter with EDC concerns
- Includes added Fragrance
- PEG-100 stearate used as the emulsifier
- Decyl glucoside may bother some users
Who it's for: Buyers who want a tinted Korean primer-SPF hybrid and are not reactive to homosalate or fragrance.

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.
Yes
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.
