Verdict Should you buy it?

Hybrid essence led by zinc oxide and rounded out with octisalate, Uvinul T 150, Uvinul A Plus, Bemotrizinol, and ethylhexyl triazone. Silica and a polymer film give a durable, smooth finish, but ethanol and fragrance keep this off the sensitive-skin list.

Pros
  • Zinc oxide as a lead filter, paired with modern UVA filters
  • PA++++ broad-spectrum rating
  • Polysilicone-9 and silica give a smooth finish
  • Sodium hyaluronate and eucalyptus extract included
Cons
  • Ethanol high in the formula
  • Fragranced — not for users avoiding scent
  • Polysorbate 80 and disodium EDTA present

Who it's for: Outdoor users wanting a ZnO-led hybrid with a polymer-film finish who don't react to ethanol or fragrance.

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.
Essence
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.
