Verdict Should you buy it?

A JP-domestic SPF 50+ PA++++ ethanol-forward spray built on the standard avobenzone/homosalate/octisalate/octocrylene quartet. Alcohol sits as the second ingredient and citrus-floral fragrance is added.

Pros
  • Spray format makes reapplication over makeup practical
  • PA++++ UVA rating
  • Photostable octocrylene supports avobenzone
  • Tocopherol, grape seed oil, and argan oil included
Cons
  • Ethanol is the second ingredient by order
  • Added citrus-floral fragrance
  • Homosalate carries reef and absorption concerns
  • Filter set lacks modern non-EDC options

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a quick-drying alcohol-forward spray for makeup-friendly reapplication who tolerate fragrance and homosalate.

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.
Spray
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.
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.
