Verdict Should you buy it?

Zinc-oxide-only mineral fluid with a deep botanical and ferment list — rice, licorice, marshmallow root, lotus, hibiscus, and Leuconostoc/Radish — plus iron oxides to temper white cast. Fragrance- and alcohol-free; one of the gentler decks in the lineup, though still a mineral fluid rather than a true invisible finish.

Pros
  • All-mineral zinc oxide with iron oxides to soften white cast
  • Botanical-rich deck with licorice, lotus, hibiscus, and rice extracts
  • Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment supports natural preservation
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and jojoba esters add hydration
Cons
  • Lauryl PEG-8 Dimethicone present for those avoiding PEGs
  • Mineral fluid can still leave a faint cast on deeper tones
  • Long extract list raises mild irritation odds for very reactive skin

Who it's for: Sensitive-skin buyers wanting an all-mineral, botanically rich daily SPF and willing to trade a touch of cast for the gentler filter system.

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.
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.
Yes
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.
