Verdict Should you buy it?

A Japanese chemical sunscreen using octinoxate, octocrylene, avobenzone, and DHHB, paired with squalane, phytosterols, and three ceramides. The filter set is older and octinoxate weighs on the health axis.

Pros
  • DHHB modernizes the otherwise older filter set
  • Ceramide NP, NG, and AP for barrier support
  • Squalane and phytosterols add lipids
  • Fragrance-free and ethanol-free
  • Face and body format with a moisturizing base
Cons
  • Octinoxate raises endocrine-disruption concern
  • Octocrylene is an older, less stable filter
  • Avobenzone needs a stabilizer to hold UVA
  • PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil flagged on health

Who it's for: For dry skin wanting a moisturizing Japanese face-and-body SPF who accept octinoxate and octocrylene in the blend.

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.
