Verdict Should you buy it?

A sport-oriented hybrid leaning on PBSA, DHHB, bemotrizinol, and TiO2, with octocrylene and homosalate filling out the UVB load. Fragrance-free with a botanical-rich base, but the older filter pair drags the health profile.

Pros
  • DHHB and bemotrizinol cover UVA1 thoroughly
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Botanical and algae extracts add antioxidant support
  • Silicone base wears actively without fragrance
Cons
  • Contains homosalate and octocrylene, both EU-restricted and EDC-flagged
  • PBSA can irritate sensitive eyes and skin
  • Dense botanical list raises allergen risk

Who it's for: Active wearers comfortable with EU-restricted filters who want broad UVA coverage in a fragrance-free sport format.

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.
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.
