Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50+, which aligns with the inclusion of multiple dedicated UVB absorbers in the active ingredients list.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Bisoctrizole (Tinosorb M) provides robust, continuous absorption across the entire UVA spectrum with a peak at 360 nm, extending protection up to 400 nm.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The ingredient list is completely devoid of dedicated water-proofing polymers, waxes, or silicones, consisting primarily of water, alcohol, and glycols.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Cosmetic photobiology literature confirms Bisoctrizole and Mexoryl SX are highly photostable and maintain protective efficacy under sustained UV exposure.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Absence of any iron oxide colour indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or tinting agents in the provided ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Ethyl alcohol acts as a strong penetration enhancer and lipid solvent, which exacerbates the well-documented irritant and allergenic properties of kojic acid and benzophenone-4.
Pore Clogging
High Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological comedogenicity scales derived from classic rabbit ear assays consistently rate Oleth-3 at 5/5 for comedogenic potential due to its specific lipophilic structure and penetrating properties.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Bisoctrizole (Tinosorb M) is a micronized organic particulate that can leave a faint white residue, but its low position ensures sub-clinical cast on deeper skin tones.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Methoxycinnamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine UVB / UVA II
This ingredient is not officially approved as an active sunscreen filter by the United States Food and Drug Administration or the European Union.
Terephthalylidene Broad Spectrum UV
Clinical studies have demonstrated that this ingredient absorbs into the bloodstream beyond regulatory thresholds and requires further safety evaluation.
Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid Broad Spectrum UV
Demonstrates systemic absorption exceeding the FDA safety threshold requiring further data to confirm long term safety.
Ensulizole UVB
In vitro studies suggest it can generate reactive oxygen species upon UV exposure which may lead to cellular damage though real world impact is debated.
Bisoctrizole, Water, Decyl Glucoside, Propylene Glycol, and Xanthan Gum Broad Spectrum UV
Approved for use in most global markets including the EU up to 10 percent but remains unapproved by the US FDA.
Sulisobenzone UVB / UVA II
Studies suggest potential estrogenic activity and hormonal disruption in fish models though European authorities consider it safe in cosmetics up to a five percent concentration.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Ethanol Solvent
High concentrations can strip the skin of natural lipids and cause dryness, occasionally leading to irritant or allergic contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals [1.7].
Triethanolamine pH Adjuster
May react with nitrosating agents in formulations to form nitrosamines which are potential carcinogens.
Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
Oleth-3 Emulsifier
As an ethoxylated ingredient it may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane and ethylene oxide which are probable carcinogens linked to the manufacturing process.
Hydroxyapatite Sensory Modifier
The nano form of hydroxyapatite is heavily regulated in the European Union with strict prohibitions in sprayable cosmetics due to potential inhalation risks.
