Verdict Should you buy it?

A hybrid SPF50+ cream pairing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with octinoxate, Tinosorb S, and Uvinul A Plus for broad UVA-UVB cover. The base stays fragrance- and alcohol-free and adds tocopherol plus tocotrienols, though methylparaben and octinoxate sit alongside the more modern filters.

  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free base
  • Tocopherol and tocotrienol antioxidants
  • Dipotassium glycyrrhizate soothing agent
  • PA++++ rating for UVA
Cons

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.
