Report details / 01
The invisible, primer-like sunscreen that persuaded many people to wear SPF daily.
Claims audit / 02
Each claim is rated separately. Ingredient evidence does not prove that this finished product produces the same result.
Claim 01 / Broad-spectrum organic UV filters
Properly tested sunscreen filters reduce UV damage. The clear silicone gel improves wearability, but protection still depends on applying enough and reapplying.
See researchClaim 02 / Meadowfoam seed oil
It is primarily an emollient that improves feel and reduces dryness; sunscreen filters do the protective work.
See researchEvidence review / 03
Evi rates the research behind each claim. Unless an exact-product study is recorded, ingredient findings describe the ingredient—not proof that this finished formula produces the same result.
What we found
The best sunscreen is one you use generously every day.
Its invisible texture is a practical advantage, not stronger UV science.
Use about two finger lengths for face and neck, then reapply outdoors.

How direct is the evidence?
How the rating was reached
Strong
Evi never assigns numeric scores. The level follows fixed rules from recorded research, so the same evidence always gives the same result.
Independent summary
Strong protection in a cosmetically elegant format; application amount matters more than the extras.
An evidence-focused interpretation—not a diagnosis or personalized medical treatment advice.

Peer-reviewed sources reviewed for this report. Study population and sample details appear only when they are present in Evi's verified record.
Claim 01
Protects from UVA and UVB without a white cast.
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology · 2021 · DOI 10.1016/j.jaad.2020.11.074
Conventional sunscreens with UV filters do not protect against visible light, only tinted sunscreens do, and future development should focus on this protection gap while improving the cosmetic feel of products.
Claim 02
Adds antioxidant moisture support.
International journal of molecular sciences · 2017 · DOI 10.3390/ijms19010070
A review of various plant oils finds they can have therapeutic benefits for skin, including anti-inflammatory effects, promotion of wound healing, and repair of the skin barrier.
International journal of cosmetic science · 2021 · DOI 10.1111/ics.12724
Shows meadowfoam oil works well as a cosmetic base; it's a formulation study, not a skin-benefit trial.
