Ranks #1363 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Same dated US filter stack as essence (homosalate/octinoxate) but iron-oxide tint covers cast better; fewer EOs than essence; still hormonally concerning filters.
Verdict Should you buy it?
An iron-oxide tinted hybrid that adds titanium dioxide to the same homosalate/octinoxate/octisalate base as the essence. Tint helps mask any mineral cast, but the filter chemistry is unchanged and the citrus oils carry over.
Pros
- Iron oxides (CI 77492/77491) provide visible-light coverage
- Niacinamide, glutathione, panthenol, and ceramide NP in the base
- Fragrance-free and alcohol-free per the INCI list
- Hybrid build keeps a smoother finish than pure mineral
Cons
- Homosalate and octinoxate dominate the chemical filter share
- Tea tree leaf water and citrus oils may bother reactive skin
- BHT antioxidant remains in the formula
Who it's for: US buyers seeking a tinted tone-up that smooths complexion under makeup and who tolerate citrus oils and legacy filters.

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.

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.
