Verdict Should you buy it?

An 18% zinc oxide cream supported by baobab oil, squalane and trimethylsiloxysilicate as a film former. Fragrance-free and alcohol-free, though the high mineral load makes a visible cast hard to avoid.

Pros
  • High zinc oxide load for confident broad-spectrum coverage
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free declaration
  • Squalane and baobab oil add emollience
  • Trimethylsiloxysilicate helps anchor the film
  • Short INCI keeps sensitizer load minimal
Cons
  • Expect noticeable white cast despite the film former
  • Heavier cream may not suit oily complexions
  • No PA rating disclosed
  • Botanical extracts add some sensitization potential

Who it's for: Suits dry or barrier-conscious buyers on lighter skin tones who want a high zinc load; not for those minimizing mineral cast.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 60
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50

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.
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.
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.
