Verdict Should you buy it?
A pressed mineral powder on titanium dioxide and zinc oxide with iron oxide tint, ethanol-free at SPF 50+ / PA++++. Best used as a touch-up over a primary sunscreen, since reaching label dose with powder is difficult in real-world use.
Pros
- Ethanol-free mineral formula
- TiO2 and ZnO with iron oxide tint for visible-light cover
- Convenient powder format for midday top-ups
- PA++++ UVA rating
- Tocopherol antioxidant included
Cons
- Contains fragrance, a sensitization vector
- Reaching label SPF dose with powder is difficult
- Talc and barium sulfate present in the base
Who it's for: People who already wear a primary sunscreen and want a tinted mineral powder for daytime touch-ups over makeup.

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.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Powder
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.
Yes
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.
