Verdict Should you buy it?

A pigmented lip gloss claiming SPF 50, but no recognized UV filters appear in the published INCI — only salicylate-based emollient boosters. The base brings squalane, shea, and peptides, yet it is fragranced (Aroma) and contains rosin, a known contact allergen.

Pros
  • Tinted balm finish with squalane and shea butter
  • Hyaluronic acid and peptides for lip surface conditioning
  • Argan, rosehip, and sunflower oils in the base
  • Tocopherol antioxidant included
Cons
  • No recognized UV filters listed in the INCI
  • Fragranced (Aroma) and contains phenylpropanol
  • Rosin is a documented lip-contact allergen
  • No PA rating reported

Who it's for: Shoppers seeking a tinted, conditioning lip product for color, with the caveat that the labeled UV protection is not corroborated by the INCI.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 60
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 75
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.
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.
