Verdict Should you buy it?

Mineral SPF 30 with ZnO, TiO2, and iron-oxide tint plus aloe, licorice, and rhatany root. The big concern is methylisothiazolinone — a well-documented contact allergen — alongside PEG-7 cocoate and propylene glycol that further pressure sensitive-skin appeal.

Pros
  • All-mineral ZnO and TiO2 with iron-oxide tint
  • Aloe, licorice, and rhatany root soothe
  • Fragrance-free and free of denatured alcohol
  • Beta-glucan supports barrier comfort
Cons
  • Contains methylisothiazolinone, a notable contact allergen
  • Only SPF 30 PA+++ — a modest protection ceiling
  • PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate and propylene glycol can irritate
  • Lowest cosmetic-elegance score in this set

Who it's for: Best avoided by anyone with reactive skin due to methylisothiazolinone; only consider if a tinted mineral SPF 30 is specifically wanted.

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.

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.
Yes
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.
