Verdict Should you buy it?

A fragrance-free, alcohol-free mineral roll-on built on TiO2 with bisabolol, aloe, and simple emollients. The streamlined formula suits sensitive and pediatric use, though TiO2 alone can leave a whitish cast.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Mineral TiO2 filter only
  • Bisabolol and aloe for soothing
  • Short, focused ingredient list
  • Roll-on format for targeted application
Cons
  • TiO2-only filter can look chalky on deeper tones
  • No long-UVA-specific filter declared
  • No PA rating disclosed
  • Roll-on can be slow for full-face coverage

Who it's for: Sensitive skin, kids, and mineral-filter loyalists with fair to light-medium skin tones; not for those needing modern UVA chemical filters or a clear finish on deeper tones.

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.
Mineral
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
No
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.
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.
