This sunscreen is quietly impressive. It manages to pull off a finish that’s rare in this category: matte, but not drying. The texture spreads easily and feels lightweight, almost like wearing nothing. There’s none of the greasy, sticky, or heavy after-feel many sunscreens have. In fact, the finish leans slightly hydrating, with a soft, silicone-like smoothness — dry to the touch, but not tight or uncomfortable. I’m not sure how they balanced that, but they did.
It also has a subtle beige tint, which might help to even out skin tone, though I couldn't really tell (but my skin isn't too uneven to begin with). It's probably there to avoid casting a stark white cast.
The ingredient list is relatively short and to the point, which isn't very exciting, but makes sense for a product marketed as suitable for sensitive skin. The UV filters are well chosen — titanium dioxide, Tinosorb M, and Uvinul A Plus — offering solid broad-spectrum (UVB + UVA) protection without relying on filters that are typically problematic for sensitive skin. The rest of the formula focuses on hydration and comfort: humectants and emollients keep the skin soft and moisturized, while silica helps achieve the matte finish without drying the skin out. There’s nothing fragranced or obviously irritating here, and overall, it reads as a gentle and streamlined formula that should work well for sensitive skin, as promised.
It’s also marketed as a “clean” sunscreen, and while that term is broad, the formula leaves out some of the UV filters most often criticized for environmental impact - the filters it does use (titanium dioxide, Tinosorb M, and Uvinul A Plus) are generally considered more eco-friendly compared to older options.
In short, this is a sunscreen that does exactly what it says it does — protects the skin, doesn't trigger sensitive skin, and is reef-friendly. The ingredient list isn’t particularly exciting or extensive, but in this case, that’s exactly the point. Sometimes simple really is better.
