Verdict Should you buy it?

A zinc oxide stick with shea butter, jojoba, and grape seed oil; fragrance-free and free of ethanol, with ethylhexyl methoxycrylene as a photostabilizer. The high mineral load points to a visible white cast.

Pros
  • Zinc-only mineral filter for broad UVA and UVB
  • Fragrance-free and free of denatured alcohol
  • Shea, jojoba, and grape seed oils soften the stick on skin
  • Stick format simplifies face and ear reapplication
Cons
  • Expect a visible white cast, especially on deeper tones
  • Wax base can feel waxy or drag in heat
  • Short ingredient list offers little hydration support
  • Spot use only; covering the body with a stick is slow

Who it's for: Parents who want a fragrance-free zinc stick for kids' faces, ears, and shoulders and can accept some visible cast.

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.
Mineral
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.
Stick
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.
