Verdict Should you buy it?

Mineral-leaning cream blending PBSA with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in a base of peptides, panthenol, and sodium ascorbate. Fragrance, lavender, and a modest mineral load mean texture and tolerability will vary by skin type.

Pros
  • Multi-filter blend (PBSA, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide)
  • Includes peptides, panthenol, and sodium ascorbate
  • Alcohol-free
  • Botanical extracts add minor skin-support actives
Cons
  • Contains fragrance and lavender flower extract
  • Mineral load appears modest in the ingredient order
  • Long extract list raises allergen surface area

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a mineral-led K-beauty family cream with peptide and panthenol boosters who tolerate fragrance and lavender.

UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 95
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 70
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 48
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 58
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 52

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.
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.
Yes
