Verdict Should you buy it?

A titanium dioxide-only mineral cream built on mineral oil, dimethicone, and centella with cica-style botanicals. Single-filter UVA coverage is limited, and the base relies on triethanolamine, fragrance, and benzyl salicylate.

Pros
  • Centella asiatica, allantoin, and chamomile target comfort
  • Sodium hyaluronate adds basic hydration
  • Mineral oil and dimethicone give a slip, cushioned feel
  • Alcohol-free base avoids ethanol-driven dryness
Cons
  • Titanium dioxide alone offers weaker UVA than zinc-inclusive minerals
  • Fragrance and benzyl salicylate raise allergen exposure
  • Triethanolamine is a less modern pH adjuster
  • Heavy mineral-oil base may feel occlusive on oily skin

Who it's for: Dry or normal skin shoppers wanting a cica-themed mineral cream and unbothered by fragrance or mineral oil.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 81
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 80
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 42
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 48
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 52

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.
No
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.
