Verdict Should you buy it?

Stick format on Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T 150, Parsol SLX, and Bemotrizinol with a centella-and-jojoba base. Fragrance-free and alcohol-free, built for top-ups over makeup or on the go.

Pros
  • Four modern filters covering UVA and UVB
  • Centella, jojoba seed oil, and bisabolol soothe the base
  • Fragrance-free and free of denatured alcohol per INCI
  • Stick format convenient for reapplication
  • Sodium hyaluronate adds light hydration
Cons
  • Synthetic wax and ozokerite can feel waxy on dry skin
  • Stick application may tug on sensitive areas
  • Many botanical extracts increase reactivity surface area

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a portable fragrance-free stick with modern filters for reapplication — not the primary AM layer for dry skin.

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.
Yes
