Verdict Should you buy it?

A tinted mineral cream in a silicone-rich base, pairing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with iron oxide tint and a comfort layer of squalane, ceramide NP, and a peptide. Fragrance-free with no ethanol, the silicone slip helps minimize mineral chalkiness.

Pros
  • Fragrance-free and free of ethanol
  • Mineral filters with iron oxide tint to reduce white cast
  • Silicone base improves blendability over pure mineral
  • Includes ceramide NP, squalane, and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-10
  • THD ascorbate and fullerene as antioxidants
Cons
  • Tinted shade range is limited
  • Heavy silicone feel may not suit silicone-averse buyers
  • Polysorbate 80 can be a mild sensitizer for some

Who it's for: Sensitive or tone-conscious buyers wanting a tinted mineral with silicone-smoothed application and an antioxidant layer.

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.
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.
Yes
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.
