Verdict Should you buy it?

Tinted yellow-toned cushion pairing zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and bemotrizinol with octisalate and isoamyl methoxycinnamate. Centella triterpenes and panthenol soothe, but denatured alcohol, fragrance, and menthol-class cooling agents stack the irritation risk.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide and TiO2 alongside modern bemotrizinol
  • Centella triterpenes (madecassoside, asiaticoside)
  • Panthenol and squalane for skin comfort
  • Tone-correcting yellow tint suits sallowness
Cons
  • Contains denatured alcohol
  • Added fragrance is listed in the formula
  • Two cooling agents (menthyl lactate, ethyl menthane carboxamide)
  • Multiple irritation triggers stack together

Who it's for: Oily-skin users wanting a yellow-tinted cushion who tolerate alcohol, fragrance, and menthol-type cooling notes.

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.
Cushion
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.
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.
