Verdict Should you buy it?

A hydration-focused cream stacking hyaluronic acid grades, ceramides, and cholesterol, but the label discloses no actual UV filters beyond a butyloctyl salicylate booster. The barrier ingredients are strong; the SPF substantiation is unclear from the INCI.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free per INCI
  • Multi-weight hyaluronic acid and ceramide complex hydrate
  • Niacinamide, panthenol, and centella support barrier
  • Cholesterol and phytosphingosine round out the lipid matrix
Cons
  • No UV filters disclosed in the listed INCI
  • Butyloctyl salicylate is a booster, not a standalone filter
  • PEG-100 stearate may not suit PEG-avoiders
  • No PA rating disclosed

Who it's for: A dry, barrier-focused buyer wanting a hydrating daily moisturizer with SPF support, who will verify filter contents on pack before relying on it for sun exposure.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 36
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 50
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 72
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 70
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 62
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.
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.
