Verdict Should you buy it?

A silicone-rich US sunscreen using avobenzone, homosalate, octinoxate, and octisalate, with parfum and BHT in the base. The cream feels lightweight, but the filter system and the fragrance load are the main concerns.

Pros
  • Silicone phase delivers a smooth, blurring finish
  • Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, hydrolyzed collagen, and tocopherol included
  • Aloe leaf extract and rosemary water support the botanical claims
  • Alcohol-free per the INCI list
Cons
  • Filter stack relies on octinoxate, homosalate, avobenzone, and octisalate
  • Parfum is declared in the INCI
  • BHT antioxidant is included

Who it's for: US buyers attracted to a luxe silicone finish and willing to accept fragrance and a legacy chemical filter set.

UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 84
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 36
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 50
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 76
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 42

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.
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.
