Ranks #1213 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Mineral-only TiO2 SPF30 not broad-spectrum; bergamot, geranium, rose oils penalize sensitivity. White-cast risk.
Verdict Should you buy it?
TiO2-only mineral cream with a sprawling ferment and botanical list including bergamot, geranium, rose, and chamomile essential oils. SPF30 limits the protection ceiling and the citrus oil raises phototoxicity concerns in a sun product.
Pros
- Single mineral filter with no organic UV chemicals
- Alcohol-free formulation
- Ceramide NP, squalane, and panthenol included
- Centella asiatica, beta-glucan, and propolis among soothing actives
Cons
- Bergamot oil is phototoxic and unusual in a sunscreen
- Geranium and rose oils add allergen load
- SPF30 is the lowest in this lineup
- TiO2-only filter limits UVA1 depth
Who it's for: Mineral-preferring buyers wanting a low-SPF botanical formula who can tolerate aromatic essential oils.

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.
No
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.
