Verdict Should you buy it?

A chemical lotion using homosalate, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, and PBSA with botanical extracts and silica. Avoids octinoxate, but alcohol denat. ranks third and parfum is present, so sensitivity is the main trade-off.

Pros
  • Modern filter mix without octinoxate
  • PBSA adds water-soluble UVB coverage
  • Glycerin, betaine, and licorice extract for hydration
  • Reef-considerate footprint relative to octinoxate formulas
Cons
  • Alcohol denat. third on the list, drying
  • Parfum present, raising irritation potential
  • Homosalate concentration likely high given placement
  • Cetearyl and behenyl alcohol may feel heavy on oily skin

Who it's for: Normal to dry skin wanting a hydrating chemical SPF with anti-aging botanicals who accept fragrance and notable alcohol content.

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.
Lotion
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.
No
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.
