Verdict Should you buy it?

A tinted hybrid essence with titanium dioxide plus four modern EU filters (Bemotrizinol, DHHB, EHT, Parsol SLX) and a long peptide list. Added fragrance and the TiO2 tone-up trade against the otherwise modern filter and actives profile.

Pros
  • Four modern EU filters supporting TiO2 for hybrid coverage
  • Extensive peptide complex including copper tripeptide-1 and acetyl hexapeptide-8
  • Niacinamide, panthenol, allantoin, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate for soothing
  • Tint with iron oxides offsets mineral white cast
  • Alcohol-free formulation
Cons
  • Added fragrance raises irritation risk
  • TiO2 tint can mismatch deeper skin tones
  • Many low-percentage peptides limit measurable actives effect
  • Linolenic acid plus rich emollients may not suit oily skin

Who it's for: Light to medium skin wanting a tinted dewy SPF with modern filters and peptides, accepting added fragrance.

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.
Essence
Finish How the formula looks on skin once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Dewy
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.
