Verdict Should you buy it?

A watery lotion with octinoxate plus three triazine filters (Uvinul T 150, Uvinul A Plus, Bemotrizinol) in a glycerin and polymer film base. Ethanol sits high, and fragrance, royal jelly and BHT round out the irritation considerations.

Pros
  • Four-filter system spans UVA and UVB
  • Lightweight watery lotion absorbs fast
  • Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate for hydration
  • Polymer film-formers aid even, layerable application
Cons
  • Ethanol second on the INCI list
  • Fragrance present
  • Royal jelly may trigger bee-product allergies
  • BHT added as stabilizer

Who it's for: Normal-to-oily skin wanting a fluid daily lotion with strong UV coverage; not for ethanol, fragrance or bee-product sensitivities.

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.
Lotion
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.
