Verdict Should you buy it?

A five-filter chemical cream pairing homosalate, octinoxate, avobenzone, octocrylene, and Uvinul A Plus with ceramide NP, panthenol, and a dense Korean herbal complex. Filter coverage is broad, but the added fragrance plus heavy botanical mix raises the overall allergen load.

Pros
  • Five-filter system with broad UVA and UVB coverage
  • PA++++ rating for strong long-wave UVA protection
  • Ceramide NP, cholesterol, and fatty acids support the barrier
  • Panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, and glycerin layer hydration
Cons
  • Contains fragrance, increasing irritation potential
  • Octinoxate and homosalate carry endocrine-disruption discussion
  • Long herbal extract list raises cumulative allergen exposure
  • BHT included as antioxidant stabilizer

Who it's for: Suits buyers wanting maximum filter coverage in a nourishing cream who tolerate fragrance and botanical-heavy Korean formulas.

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.
Yes
