Verdict Should you buy it?

A ZnO-only milk on a rich amino-acid, collagen, and ceramide base that reads more like a treatment than a sunscreen. SPF 22 PA++ is modest by daily-defense standards, and methyl- and ethylparaben are present.

Pros
  • ZnO-only mineral filter with broad-spectrum reach
  • Amino-acid blend, collagen, and ceramides build hydration
  • Fragrance-free and free of denatured alcohol
  • Milk texture is light and easy to layer
Cons
  • SPF 22 PA++ is too low for full sun exposure days
  • Contains methylparaben and ethylparaben, which some shoppers avoid
  • All-mineral can leave a faint cast on deeper skin tones

Who it's for: Suits indoor-leaning days for dry skin that wants a hydrating mineral milk and accepts a modest SPF level.

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.
Milk
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.
