Verdict Should you buy it?

Hybrid EU formula combining Bemotrizinol, Uvinul T 150, Uvinul A Plus, Mexoryl XL, Mexoryl SX, PBSA, and titanium dioxide for broad multi-filter coverage. Strong UVA score, but alcohol denat third on the INCI limits comfort for sensitive skin.

Pros
  • Eight UV filters spanning UVA1, UVA2, and UVB
  • Fragrance-free vehicle
  • Glycerin and propanediol for some humectancy
  • Tocopherol for antioxidant support
Cons
  • Alcohol denat is third on the INCI
  • Triethanolamine raises sensitivity risk
  • Cream texture is not lightweight despite the fluid claim

Who it's for: Non-sensitive EU shoppers wanting a broad modern filter set unavailable in US formulas, who tolerate alcohol-forward vehicles.

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.
No
