Verdict Should you buy it?
Chemical-only essence built on five modern organic filters: Mexoryl SX, Uvinul T 150, Uvinul A Plus, Bemotrizinol, and Parsol SLX. Fragrance-free; the dense botanical list (garlic, oat, perilla, broccoli) is the main sensitization caveat.
Pros
- Modern photostable filter system with no octinoxate
- Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
- Niacinamide, adenosine, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate
- Lightweight serum-like texture
- Polysilicone-15 for smooth slip
Cons
- Dense botanical extract list raises sensitization risk
- Allium sativum (garlic) extract is a recognized allergen
- Multiple ferment and sprout extracts add complexity
Who it's for: Buyers wanting a fragrance-free chemical filter system with current-generation organics and tolerant of a long botanical lineup.

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.
Essence
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.
