System Verdict
It’s a functional SPF mist, but the alcohol-heavy base makes it a mediocre daily sunscreen and a poor skin-care formula. The efficacy score is held up by a real broad-spectrum filter trio—avobenzone for UVA plus octisalate and octocrylene for UVB—and improved somewhat by photostabilizing/film-forming support, but it loses points because Alcohol Denat. is the first ingredient, which makes the formula very solvent-forward and likely less elegant on skin; the botanical extras are not what drive protection.
