Verdict Should you buy it?

A face-and-body cream pairing octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate, and avobenzone with shea butter, squalane, and a multi-ceramide complex. The emollient base feels rich, while the chemical filter quartet carries a meaningful homosalate and octocrylene load.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and free of drying alcohol
  • Multi-ceramide complex (NP, NS, AS, AP, EOP) plus cholesterol
  • Shea butter, squalane, and avocado oil for emollience
  • Sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and propanediol for hydration
  • Goat milk and mango butter add richness
Cons
  • 10% octocrylene plus 7% homosalate is a heavy chemical filter load
  • Rich emollient base may feel occlusive on oily skin
  • Avobenzone is the only UVA filter; no modern stabilizers

Who it's for: Dry-skin shoppers who want a fragrance-free face-and-body chemical sunscreen with a ceramide-rich cushion and accept older US filter chemistry.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 75
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 55
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 70
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 55
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.
No
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.
