Verdict Should you buy it?

A hybrid SPF 51 PA++++ combining titanium dioxide with Uvinul T 150, Uvinul A Plus and Bemotrizinol, plus ultramarines and kaolin for tone correction. Fragrance-free and free of drying alcohol, with niacinamide and adenosine in the base.

Pros
  • Four-filter hybrid covers UVA and UVB
  • Ultramarines and kaolin tone-correct sallowness
  • Niacinamide, allantoin and adenosine in base
  • Camellia leaf water and saccharide hydrolysate add slip
  • Fragrance-free with no drying alcohol
Cons
  • Stacked fatty alcohols can pill under makeup
  • TiO2 plus ultramarines can read white on deeper skin
  • Tone-up bias limits shade neutrality

Who it's for: Light to medium skin wanting a tone-up hybrid SPF, not for those layering many silicone primers underneath.

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.
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.
