Verdict Should you buy it?

Korean essence pairing five modern EU filters (Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T 150, Bemotrizinol, Uvasorb HEB, Mexoryl SX) with niacinamide, centella triterpenes, and panthenol; fragrance- and alcohol-free with maximum filter modernity and a sensitive-skin profile.

Pros
  • Five modern non-FDA UV filters
  • Fragrance-free
  • Alcohol-free
  • Centella triterpenes (asiaticoside, madecassic acid)
  • Niacinamide, allantoin, and panthenol
Cons
  • Five chemical filters may concern mineral-only buyers
  • Ascorbic acid in formula may destabilize
  • Behenyl and stearyl alcohols add richness
  • Trideceth-6 surfactant present

Who it's for: Sensitive-skin buyers wanting modern non-FDA filter technology with centella soothers in an essence; not for those restricted to US-FDA chemistry.

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.
Essence
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.
Yes
