Verdict Should you buy it?
Modern chemical stick built on DHHB, Uvinul T 150, Parsol SLX, and bemotrizinol, paired with niacinamide and a long palmitoyl-peptide stack. Fragrance-free and alcohol-free; the wax base stays invisible but rewards deliberate, multi-pass application to reach an even UV dose.
Pros
- Four modern photostable filters covering both UVA and UVB
- Niacinamide plus a layered peptide and adenosine complex
- Fragrance-free and alcohol-free per INCI
- Pocket-friendly stick suits travel and over-makeup touch-ups
Cons
- Stick coverage is hard to dose; thin passes underdeliver SPF
- Wax-heavy base may feel occlusive on oilier skin
- Very long INCI may complicate elimination-style routines
Who it's for: Buyers who want a portable, invisible-finish chemical SPF with modern filters and added peptide and niacinamide actives, and will apply enough product.

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.
Stick
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.
