Verdict Should you buy it?

A fragrance-free hybrid combining zinc oxide with octinoxate and avobenzone at SPF45 PA++. Botanical extracts and licorice derivatives provide soothing notes, but ethanol low in the list and the older organic filter pairing weigh on the sensitivity profile.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free formula
  • Botanical complex with centella, calendula, and pomegranate
  • Hybrid filter set anchored by zinc oxide
  • Sodium hyaluronate and glycyrrhetinate soothers
Cons
  • Contains ethanol — not alcohol-free
  • Octinoxate and avobenzone as organic filters
  • Only PA++ despite SPF45

Who it's for: Buyers wanting a tone-up day cream with botanical actives who tolerate trace ethanol; not for those who strictly avoid alcohol.

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.
Hybrid
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.
No
