Verdict Should you buy it?

A fully modern-filter stick (DHHB, EHT, BEMT, Parsol SLX) with niacinamide and a dense botanical extract blend. The clean filter profile is offset by added Fragrance plus lavender, thyme, mint, and pine extracts — a high cumulative allergen load for sensitive skin.

Pros
  • Filter stack is modern; no octinoxate, oxybenzone, or homosalate
  • Stick format ideal for travel and on-the-go touch-ups
  • Niacinamide and adenosine for skin support
  • Alcohol-free; no ethanol or SD alcohol
Cons
  • Contains Fragrance alongside lavender and aromatic herb extracts
  • Dense botanical blend raises cumulative allergen exposure
  • Wax-rich base can feel heavy on oily skin

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a modern-filter portable stick who like botanical-forward formulas and don't react to herbal aromatics.

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.
Stick
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.
Yes
