Ranks #1170 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Alcohol denat early, fragrance, octinoxate + octocrylene — heavy on sensitizers and EDC-suspect filters. Light milk texture though.
Verdict Should you buy it?
A lightweight chemical milk with broad-spectrum filters including octinoxate, octocrylene, and bemotrizinol. Denatured alcohol sits high on the list and fragrance is present, so the formula leans efficient over gentle.
Pros
- Five-filter chemical stack including modern bemotrizinol
- Light milk texture spreads thinly on skin
- Multiple botanical extracts add a soothing pretense
- Affordable broad-spectrum coverage for daily use
Cons
- Contains denatured alcohol high in the formula
- Added fragrance increases irritation risk
- Octinoxate raises endocrine-disruption concerns
- Octocrylene can degrade into benzophenone over time
Who it's for: Suited to non-sensitive skin seeking a thin, fast-absorbing chemical milk; not for fragrance- or alcohol-averse users.

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.
Milk
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.
