Verdict Should you buy it?

A hybrid SPF 30 serum pairing avobenzone, ethylhexyl salicylate, and octocrylene with titanium dioxide, finished with mica and bismuth oxychloride for a dewy sheen. Lactobacillus ferment and glycerin add comfort, but Fragrance keeps it off the sensitive-skin shortlist.

Pros
  • Hybrid filter system pairs chemical filters with titanium dioxide
  • Lactobacillus ferment and glycerin add hydration
  • Mica gives a luminous, illuminating finish
  • Alcohol-free serum texture
Cons
  • Contains Fragrance
  • Bismuth oxychloride can sensitize reactive skin
  • SPF 30 — the lowest broad-spectrum tier

Who it's for: Glow-leaning shoppers wanting a dewy serum-style SPF under makeup; avoid if you steer clear of fragrance or bismuth oxychloride.

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.
Essence
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.
