Ranks #1521 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Alcohol-forward spray with fragrance; homosalate 10% endocrine concern. Invisible finish but high irritation potential, especially marketed for kids.
Verdict Should you buy it?
An alcohol-forward clear spray for kids with avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene plus added fragrance, on a minimal supporting base. Easy to apply, but the combination of alcohol, fragrance and mist format is harsh for sensitive skin.
Pros
- Spray format speeds full-body application on active kids
- Invisible clear finish suits all skin tones
- Avobenzone covers UVA
- Tocopherol antioxidant included
Cons
- Alcohol denat plus fragrance is drying and sensitizing
- Homosalate 10% with three other organic filters
- Spray mist carries inhalation risk for kids' faces
- Very short inactive list, little soothing support
Who it's for: Families wanting a fast invisible body spray for kids with resilient skin, applied away from the face.

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.
No
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Spray
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.
