Verdict Should you buy it?

Purple tone-up cream with a strong modern filter spread: titanium dioxide, Uvinul T 150, Uvinul A Plus, and bisoctrizole. Backed by ectoin, ascorbic acid, tocopherol, and centella triterpenes, but bergamot oil with listed limonene and linalool means it is not allergen-clean.

Pros
  • Modern UVA filters: Uvinul A Plus, bisoctrizole, Uvinul T 150
  • Ectoin, ascorbic acid, and tocopherol antioxidants
  • Centella triterpenes and panthenol
  • Ultramarines counter yellow undertones
Cons
  • Contains bergamot oil with listed limonene and linalool
  • Cooling propionamide can sting sensitive skin
  • Purple cast can read chalky on deeper skin tones
  • Long ingredient list widens trigger surface

Who it's for: Light-to-medium skin tones wanting a brightening tone-up with current-generation UVA filters who accept essential oil components.

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.
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.
