Verdict Should you buy it?

Tinted cushion uses a five-filter hybrid system with iron oxides for color correction and a centella complex for soothing claims. The finish leans elegant, but a long fragrance, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender stack creates a high irritation profile.

Pros
  • Five-filter hybrid spans UVB through long-UVA wavelengths
  • Iron oxides plus titanium dioxide give tint and visible-light cover
  • Centella quartet (asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic and madecassic acid)
  • Niacinamide included at a meaningful slot for tone support
  • Cushion format reapplies cleanly over makeup
Cons
  • Fragrance with limonene, linalool, citronellol — common contact allergens
  • Peppermint, rosemary, and lavender oils raise sensitization risk further
  • Contains octinoxate, flagged for endocrine-disruption concerns
  • Only two shade options limit color matching

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a tinted centella cushion who tolerate fragrance and herbal oils; not suited to reactive or barrier-impaired skin.

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.
