Verdict Should you buy it?

A four-filter chemical face SPF 50 with avobenzone 1.75%, homosalate 5%, octisalate 2%, and octocrylene in a botanical oleosome and jojoba ester base. Solid UV coverage, but homosalate load and added Aroma weaken its gentleness.

Pros
  • SPF 50 broad-spectrum with four chemical filters
  • Alcohol-free emollient base with jojoba esters and oleosomes
  • Glycerin and aloe for hydration
  • Tropolone and caprylyl glycol-based preservation
Cons
  • Homosalate at 5% raises endocrine concern
  • Contains Aroma — flavor/scent components
  • Dimethicone-led finish may not suit silicone-avoidant users
  • Filter stack matches the brand's body lotion, not face-specific

Who it's for: Face-SPF buyers who like a scented cream finish and accept homosalate; not for fragrance-sensitive or reactive complexions.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 35
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 55
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 45
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.
Chemical
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
No
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.
