Verdict Should you buy it?

A modern chemical-filter cream centered on bemotrizinol, bisoctrizole and Uvinul A Plus for robust UVA coverage, with multiple hyaluronic-acid forms for hydration. Homosalate and added fragrance pull down sensitivity and health scoring despite the otherwise current filter lineup.

Pros
  • Strong UVA set: BEMT, Tinosorb M and Uvinul A Plus
  • Multiple hyaluronic acid forms for hydration
  • Beta-glucan and tocopherol in the supporting cast
  • Free of denatured alcohol
Cons
  • Contains homosalate, a regulatory concern in some markets
  • Added fragrance is a sensitivity risk
  • Untinted, no help muting any chemical-filter sheen

Who it's for: Buyers who want a modern chemical-filter lineup with strong UVA coverage and are not avoiding homosalate or added 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.
