Ranks #315 of 1558 in the current catalogue. Same modern filter system, hydrating cream texture, fragrance-free claim contradicted by Fragrance in INCI; alcohol-free is a plus.
Verdict Should you buy it?
Hydrating chemical cream built on the same modern filter stack (Mexoryl SX, Uvinul T 150 and A Plus, Parsol SLX, Bemotrizinol). UV protection and filter modernity both score at the top. Alcohol-free, but Fragrance in the INCI limits sensitive-skin appeal.
Pros
- Five modern filters including Mexoryl SX and Bemotrizinol
- Alcohol-free (no denatured alcohol or ethanol)
- Niacinamide, lotus extracts, and sea water in the base
- SPF 51 / PA++++ with maximum UV protection score
- Hydrating cream texture without a mineral cast
Cons
- Contains Fragrance
- Sensitivity safety score sits in the mid-range
Who it's for: Buyers wanting a hydrating, modern-filter chemical sunscreen who tolerate fragrance and don't need a mineral finish.

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.
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.
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.
