Ranks #522 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Zinc-only stick with shea, argan, squalane, licorice derivative; gentle but stick format inherently leaves a denser, slightly white finish.
Verdict Should you buy it?
A zinc-only stick built on shea butter, argan oil, sunflower wax, squalane, and stearyl glycyrrhetinate. The plant-oil-rich base is gentle, but the stick format and SPF 40 suit spot reapplication more than primary daily coverage.
Pros
- Zinc oxide only, fragrance-free, alcohol-free
- Squalane and shea butter support a comforting feel
- Stearyl glycyrrhetinate adds a soothing licorice derivative
- Portable stick format for touch-ups
Cons
- SPF 40 sits below the SPF 50 ceiling
- Stick formats typically leave denser, whiter deposits
- Plant butter base can feel heavy on oilier skin
Who it's for: Users wanting a comfortable mineral stick for spot reapplication on ears, lips, and nose between primary sunscreen applications.

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.
Stick
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.
