Verdict Should you buy it?

Tinted cream led by titanium dioxide with butyloctyl salicylate as an SPF booster, paired with niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, and ferulic acid. Iron-oxide tint mitigates white-cast; chlorphenesin is the main preservative caveat.

Pros
  • Iron-oxide tint reduces mineral white-cast
  • Niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, and panthenol in the base
  • Ferulic acid and tocopherol for antioxidant support
  • Alcohol-free and free of added fragrance
Cons
  • Titanium dioxide alone gives a limited deep-UVA reach
  • Chlorphenesin may irritate reactive skin
  • Single tint limits shade match across complexions

Who it's for: Light-to-medium skin tones seeking a glowy tinted, mineral-leaning daily SPF with hydrating and brightening actives.

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.

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.
Glowy
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.
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.
