Verdict Should you buy it?

A zinc-only tinted cream with iron oxides, cupuacu butter, fruit-derived antioxidants, and gluconolactone in a modern, fragrance-free base. The formulation is cosmetically elegant for a mineral, though SPF 40 sits below the SPF 50 ceiling many buyers expect.

Pros
  • Iron oxides extend tinted coverage across skin tones
  • Gluconolactone PHA adds gentle exfoliation
  • Antioxidants from pomegranate, lingonberry, and goji
  • Fragrance-free with a streamlined preservative pair
Cons
  • SPF 40 lower than the typical SPF 50 benchmark
  • Tint range may not match all deeper skin tones
  • No PA rating disclosed

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a lightweight tinted mineral for daily wear who accept SPF 40 as adequate for incidental sun exposure.

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.
Mineral
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.
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.
