Verdict Should you buy it?

Pure zinc oxide mineral cream that runs fragrance-free and alcohol-free, with citrus, oat, and artichoke antioxidants plus hyaluronate. Sensitivity scores land among the highest in this group, though the mineral base limits cosmetic elegance.

  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
  • Antioxidants: citrus, oat, artichoke, green tea, hesperidin
  • Hyaluronate, beta-glucan, and panthenol in the base
  • PA+++ at SPF 51 from a single mineral filter
Cons
  • Mineral base may leave a white cast on deeper tones
  • Cosmetic elegance scores below modern chemical filters

Who it's for: Sensitive or reactive-skin buyers who prioritize a clean single-filter mineral base over makeup-friendly slip.

01 Score breakdown
UV protection How well the product blocks UVA + UVB across the spectrum at the stated SPF/PA. 93
Filter modernity Penalises legacy filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone); rewards photostable next-gen filters. 80
Sensitivity safety Risk for reactive skin — fragrance, alcohol, known sensitisers. 80
Reef / env. safety Reef toxicity, biodegradability of UV filters and surfactants. 100
Cosmetic elegance Spread, finish, white-cast, comfort on skin. 62
Health safety Endocrine concerns, systemic absorption signals across the formula. 82

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.
Yes
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.
Yes
