Verdict Should you buy it?

A stick built on Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T 150, Parsol SLX, and Bemotrizinol — a fully modern, octinoxate-free filter set in a wax base. Bergamot oil and 4-terpineol nudge sensitivity down but the formulation is a strong all-modern option.

Pros
  • Fully modern filter system with no octinoxate
  • PA++++ rating signals high UVA depth
  • Stick format suits on-the-go and around-the-eye top-ups
  • Bisabolol and tocopherol provide a mild soothing layer
Cons
  • Bergamot oil is photosensitizing under sun exposure
  • 4-Terpineol can irritate sensitive skin
  • Wax-rich stick can drag on dry or textured skin

Who it's for: A buyer who wants a pocketable, fully modern non-octinoxate stick and tolerates a faint citrus essential-oil note.

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.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Stick
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.
