Verdict Should you buy it?

A zinc-oxide-only mineral cream with a focused ingredient list featuring dipotassium glycyrrhizate, calendula, and tocopherol. The main drawback is added fragrance in an otherwise calming, sensitive-skin-leaning base.

Pros
  • Single-filter zinc oxide for broad-spectrum coverage
  • Dipotassium glycyrrhizate (licorice) for calming
  • Calendula extract and tocopherol included
  • Short ingredient list reduces variables
  • No denatured alcohol; PA++++
Cons
  • Fragrance is present despite sensitive-skin positioning
  • Silicones and hectorite may feel heavy
  • Tone-up format can leave a cast on deeper tones
  • Limited active hydration beyond glycyrrhizate

Who it's for: Mineral-only buyers seeking a short-list zinc oxide cream for reactive skin who can accept that fragrance is still in the formula.

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.
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.
