Verdict Should you buy it?

A minimalist titanium-dioxide-only mineral on a calming base of niacinamide, centella, allantoin, and peptides. Fragrance- and alcohol-free with a short ingredient list, but TiO2 alone tends to look chalky and limits UVA-I coverage.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Short, transparent ingredient list
  • Niacinamide, centella, and allantoin support sensitive skin
  • Sodium ascorbyl phosphate adds antioxidant input
  • Reef-considerate mineral-only filter
Cons
  • TiO2 as the sole filter limits UVA-I reach
  • Pure mineral base likely leaves whitecast
  • No UVA-strong filter such as ZnO or DHHB

Who it's for: Sensitive or reactive skin wanting a short-list mineral SPF and willing to accept whitecast and a softer UVA profile.

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.
