Ranks #762 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Fragrance-free mineral with ZnO/TiO2 and botanical antioxidants; only SPF30 and may show cast on deeper tones.
Verdict Should you buy it?
Mineral cream led by zinc oxide in a fragrance-free base, with beta-carotene, carnosine and Cistus extract as antioxidants. Botanical oil blend nourishes, but SPF 30 and a single-filter mineral system mean it may leave a cast on deeper skin tones.
Pros
- Zinc oxide mineral filter, fragrance-free
- Antioxidant blend: beta-carotene, carnosine, Cistus extract
- No denatured alcohol or essential oils
- Botanical oils for nourishment
Cons
- SPF 30 modest
- May leave white cast on deeper skin tones
- Contains propylene glycol
- Benzyl alcohol preservative present
Who it's for: Sensitive-skin buyers seeking a fragrance-free zinc-only mineral with antioxidants; lighter skin tones will tolerate the cast better.

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.
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.
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.
