Verdict Should you buy it?

Lavender twin of the mint variant: titanium dioxide with octinoxate, avobenzone, Uvinul A Plus, and octocrylene for SPF50+/PA++++. The same alcohol denat., fragrance, citrus oil, and methylparaben tradeoffs apply.

Pros
  • High SPF50+/PA++++ rating across a five-filter hybrid system
  • Lavender pigment brightens sallow or yellow undertones
  • Gel-milk texture with dimethicone for an even, smooth lay-down
  • Travel-friendly 70g tube format
  • Includes Job's tears and botanical hydrating extracts
Cons
  • Fragrance and Citrus Junos peel oil flag sensitization risk
  • Alcohol denat. high in INCI may aggravate dry skin
  • Octinoxate carries endocrine-disruption concerns
  • Methylparaben plus CI 42090/17200 dyes add irritants

Who it's for: Suits non-sensitive users wanting strong UVA/UVB protection with a lavender-tinted, lightly tone-correcting finish; skip if avoiding fragrance or 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.
Gel
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.
