Verdict Should you buy it?

A hybrid milk built on a stack of modern EU filters (EHT, Mexoryl SX, Bemotrizinol, DHHB, Parsol SLX) plus zinc oxide, layered with centella, ceramide NP, and niacinamide. Botanical extracts including tea tree and pine slightly raise the sensitization profile.

Pros
  • Six-filter modern EU stack with broad UVA/UVB coverage
  • Centella, madecassic acid, asiaticoside, ceramide NP for barrier support
  • Niacinamide and adenosine in a fragrance-free, alcohol-free base
  • Lightweight milk texture with polymethylsilsesquioxane for soft finish
  • PA++++ rating with zinc oxide reinforcing UVA defense
Cons
  • Tea tree and pine leaf extracts can provoke sensitive skin
  • Long extract list raises complexity for reactive users
  • Niacinamide late in formula limits actives payoff

Who it's for: Normal to combination skin wanting a modern filter system with centella soothing, provided botanical extracts are tolerated.

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.
Hybrid
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.
Milk
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.
