Verdict Should you buy it?

A chemical sunscreen using Mexoryl XL, Mexoryl SX, Uvinul T 150 and Uvinul A Plus, a modern EU-style UVA-heavy blend. Niacinamide, four hyaluronic acid forms, madecassoside and allantoin lean it toward barrier support, but added fragrance excludes the most reactive skin.

Pros
  • All-modern filter set, no octinoxate or oxybenzone
  • Four molecular weights of hyaluronic acid in one base
  • Madecassoside and allantoin for barrier support
  • Niacinamide and adenosine alongside the filter system
  • Shorter, more focused ingredient list than its sister SKUs
Cons
  • Contains added fragrance
  • Citrus aurantium amara, a phototoxic-risk botanical
  • Invisible finish offers no tone-up cosmetic support

Who it's for: A buyer wanting an EU-class filter system with calming actives in a hydrating, chemical-only base who can tolerate fragrance.

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.
Chemical
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.
Yes
