Verdict Should you buy it?

A fragrance-free hybrid of avobenzone, octocrylene, octisalate, TiO2 and zinc oxide with niacinamide, ceramide NP and royal jelly. The filter set is conventional but the supporting cast is well-considered for sensitive users.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free hybrid filter system
  • Ceramide NP and niacinamide support skin barrier
  • Phospholipids and lecithin reinforce comfort
  • Dipotassium glycyrrhizate and chamaecyparis calm
  • Phenoxyethanol-only preservation is straightforward
Cons
  • Conventional filter set lacks modern non-EDC options
  • Octocrylene and avobenzone are restricted in some markets
  • Royal jelly is a potential allergen for sensitized users

Who it's for: Sensitive-skin buyers who want a fragrance-free hybrid with ceramides and accept traditional western filters.

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.
