Verdict Should you buy it?

Sprawling peptide-loaded stick mixing modern filters (Uvinul A Plus, Bemotrizinol) with older octinoxate, octocrylene, and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor. Fragrance, BHT, and a very long extract list raise the sensitizer load and complicate reactivity tracing.

Pros
  • Eight-filter hybrid system covers UVA and UVB
  • Stick format suits portable top-ups over makeup
  • Peptide complex including copper tripeptide-1 and hexapeptide-9
  • Niacinamide plus multiple hyaluronic acid forms
  • Alcohol-free formulation
Cons
  • Octinoxate and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor are restricted in several markets
  • Added fragrance plus BHT raise sensitization risk
  • Very long INCI makes adverse-reaction tracing difficult

Who it's for: Reach-for-anything users wanting a portable peptide-rich touch-up stick who don't react to fragrance or older organic UV 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.
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.
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.
