non-reflective
Not mirror-like
Non-reflective describes surfaces that don't bounce light back toward the viewer.
Non-reflective glass reduces glare on picture frames and display cases.
Non-reflective coatings on camera lenses prevent unwanted light artifacts.
The term also applies figuratively to thinking that lacks self-examination: a non-reflective approach to life's big questions.
