Verdict Should you buy it?

A hybrid stick combining octocrylene and homosalate with modern DHHB, bemotrizinol, and titanium dioxide for broad coverage. Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, but BHT and the cooling agent ethyl menthane carboxamide can sting on already-sensitized skin.

Pros
  • Hybrid mix of legacy and modern UV filters
  • Fragrance-free and free of drying alcohol
  • DHHB and bemotrizinol for UVA depth
  • Bisabolol for soothing input
  • Camellia and rosehip oil emollients
Cons
  • Cooling agent ethyl menthane carboxamide can sting
  • BHT is a known sensitizer for some skin
  • Octocrylene degrades to benzophenone byproducts over time
  • Stick format limits cosmetic finish for full-face use

Who it's for: Touch-up users who want a fragrance-free hybrid stick and tolerate cooling agents and legacy filters mixed with modern ones.

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.
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.
