Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-22
What is this product?
A zinc oxide mineral sunscreen with a green tone-up finish, built around centella-derived actives at very small printed levels, suited to those wanting gentle UV protection with a soothing angle.
What makes it different?
Zinc oxide is the second ingredient, so the UV filter sits near the top of a 35-item list, and the formula uses no added fragrance and no drying alcohol. The page prints an SPF human application test with a named institution and period, which many mineral sunscreens do not show. The centella-related actives are printed at ppb levels, so the soothing story rests more on the base formula than on active concentrations.
