Verdict Should you buy it?

A chemical cream with a strong six-filter system including Bemotrizinol, Tinosorb M, DHHB, and Parsol SLX, but the base carries denatured alcohol, fragrance, and five declared allergens (hydroxycitronellal, linalool, citronellol, limonene, alpha-isomethyl ionone). Sensitization risk is high.

Pros
  • Six modern filters span UVB and broad UVA
  • Centella, madecassoside, and ceramide NP for barrier support
  • Sodium hyaluronate and aquatic mint and houttuynia extracts
  • Lightweight watery feel suggested by the polymer system
Cons
  • Denatured alcohol can disrupt the barrier with repeated use
  • Added fragrance plus five declared EU allergens raise sensitization risk
  • Homosalate carries endocrine and persistence concerns
  • Methyl diisopropyl propionamide adds a cooling sensate that can sting

Who it's for: Non-reactive users who want a strong modern-filter chemical SPF and tolerate alcohol, fragrance, and known allergen components.

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.
Cream
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.
