Verdict Should you buy it?

A pared-back cream version of the My Scheming modern-filter base with Tinosorb M, Uvinul A Plus, and octisalate plus panthenol and sodium hyaluronate. The short botanical list works for many, though o-cymen-5-ol remains the sensitivity flag.

Pros
  • All-modern filter set, no octinoxate or octocrylene
  • Fragrance-free
  • Streamlined ingredient list with few extracts
  • Panthenol and sodium hyaluronate for hydration
  • Silica adds a soft-focus matte finish
Cons
  • O-cymen-5-ol can irritate sensitive skin
  • Contains PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil
  • Propylene glycol present in the base

Who it's for: Buyers seeking a minimal modern-filter formula without fragrance who tolerate o-cymen-5-ol.

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.
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.
