Ranks #751 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Homosalate + octisalate + DHHB hybrid (no octinoxate), fragrance present but no big allergen list; tea tree and cica soothe.
Verdict Should you buy it?
A hybrid cream pairing homosalate and octisalate with titanium dioxide, DHHB, bemotrizinol, and the UV stabilizer benzotriazolyl dodecyl p-cresol. Tea tree, cica, and panthenol target calming claims, but added fragrance undercuts the soothing positioning.
Pros
- Modern DHHB and bemotrizinol filters alongside titanium dioxide
- Centella asiatica, madecassoside, and panthenol for soothing
- Postbiotic Bifida ferment included
- Alcohol-free base
- No octinoxate or oxybenzone
Cons
- Added fragrance is present despite the calming positioning
- Homosalate raises systemic absorption questions
- Tea tree extract can irritate very reactive skin
- Long polymer and emulsifier list may pill under makeup
Who it's for: Buyers drawn to cica-and-tea-tree calming claims who tolerate fragrance; not for fragrance-avoidant or homosalate-averse routines.

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.
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.
