Verdict Should you buy it?

All-mineral ZnO and TiO2 cream with calamine, resurrection-plant extracts, and a short overall list. Only rosemary leaf oil flags as a notable allergen, and the sensitivity profile is the most restrained in this batch.

Pros
  • Pure mineral filter system (ZnO + TiO2)
  • Calamine adds soothing zinc oxide
  • Selaginella and tremella polysaccharide for skin support
  • No added fragrance or drying alcohol
  • Tighter ingredient list than sibling formulas
Cons
  • Rosemary leaf oil may sensitize allergic users
  • Mineral filters typically leave a visible cast
  • Anti-pollution claim not backed by a specific named active

Who it's for: Buyers seeking all-mineral protection with minimal botanical layering; not for those needing a transparent finish on deep skin tones.

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.
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.
Dewy
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.
