Verdict Should you buy it?

A mineral cream with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, ceramide NP, panthenol and allantoin, framed for sensitive-skin support. Tea tree leaf extract plus added fragrance complicate that positioning and raise sensitivity risk for genuinely reactive skin.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad mineral coverage
  • Ceramide NP, panthenol and allantoin for barrier support
  • Free of denatured alcohol
  • Tocopherol antioxidant included
Cons
  • Tea tree extract is a known sensitizer
  • Added fragrance further raises allergy risk
  • Untinted mineral cream can leave a visible white cast

Who it's for: Buyers who want a mineral cream with barrier-support ingredients and tolerate tea tree extract and added fragrance well.

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.
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.
Yes
