Verdict Should you buy it?

A pure mineral gel using only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, formulated fragrance- and alcohol-free with peony, Ashitaba, and glycyrrhizate. SPF35 (lower than the line's SPF50+ siblings) and a heavier mineral load drive a mild white cast.

Pros
  • Only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as UV filters
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free base
  • Soothing peony, Angelica keiskei, and glycyrrhizate
  • Light gel format with hyaluronate and glycerin
Cons
  • SPF35 / PA+++ — lower protection than line siblings
  • Mineral load risks a perceptible white cast
  • No tone-up or tint pigments to offset cast

Who it's for: Sensitive skin and family-use buyers wanting a fragrance-free mineral-only daily option, willing to step down to SPF35.

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.
Gel
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.
