Verdict Should you buy it?

A tinted hybrid that drops octinoxate and homosalate in favor of titanium dioxide alongside DHHB, Parsol SLX, and ethylhexyl triazone. Tint blends well, but limonene, citral, and linalool plus citrus oils carry allergen risk.

Pros
  • Modern filter stack: DHHB, Parsol SLX, ethylhexyl triazone, and TiO2
  • Iron oxide tint helps cover any mineral cast on most skin tones
  • Niacinamide, adenosine, panthenol, squalane, and biosaccharide gum
  • Alcohol-free formula per the INCI list
Cons
  • Limonene, citral, and linalool are declared fragrance allergens
  • Bergamot, mandarin, and litsea oils raise photosensitizer potential
  • Cream texture may feel weighty on oily complexions

Who it's for: Buyers who want a modern-filter tinted SPF and tolerate scented botanical formulations rich in essential oil isolates.

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.
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.
