Verdict Should you buy it?

The gel sibling of NULL's chemical SPF, using the same octinoxate, DHHB, and Parsol SLX trio in a silicone-elastomer base. Fragrance-, alcohol-, and paraben-free with a lighter feel, but octinoxate remains the lead filter.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free
  • Gel format feels lighter than cream counterparts
  • DHHB provides UVA-I coverage
  • Short ingredient list limits sensitization vectors
Cons
  • Octinoxate as the primary UVB filter
  • Only three UV filters in the system
  • BHT included as antioxidant
  • Heavy silicones may pill under some makeup

Who it's for: Sensitive-skin buyers wanting a fragrance- and alcohol-free Japanese gel SPF who accept octinoxate and a silicone-heavy feel.

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.
Gel
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.
