Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50+, which is corroborated by the prominent presence of Zinc Oxide, Octinoxate, and Titanium Dioxide in the active ingredients.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Zinc Oxide provides broad absorption up to 370-400 nm (UVA I), while Titanium Dioxide strongly bridges the UVA II (315-340 nm) range.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Ingredients like PEG-12 Dimethicone/PPG-20 Crosspolymer and Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer form durable hydrophobic films, though the lack of a verified testing claim caps the score.
Photo Stability
Poor
Photo Stability
Peer-reviewed photobiology research (e.g., Ginzburg et al., 2021) demonstrates that Zinc Oxide induces and significantly accelerates the photodegradation of small-molecule organic filters like Octinoxate.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Iron Oxide Yellow, Red, and Black appear at positions 20-22, following Phenoxyethanol, which is globally restricted to a maximum concentration of 1%.
Irritation Risk
Low Risk
Irritation Risk
Clinical dermatological literature confirms that zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and high-molecular-weight silicones rarely cause irritant contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
High Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales, including Fulton's established testing models, assign both Isostearic Acid and Sodium Chloride a maximum 5/5 rating for pore-clogging potential.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Cosmetic chemistry principles establish that blending yellow, red, and black iron oxides effectively neutralizes the chalky reflectance of mineral UV filters across skin tones.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Titanium Dioxide UVB / UVA II
Classified as a possible human carcinogen if inhaled making spray and powder formulations a potential risk while dermal application remains safe
Key Inactive Ingredients
Isostearic Acid Skin Conditioning
Frequently flagged in dermatological databases as having a high comedogenic rating, meaning it has the potential to clog pores and exacerbate acne in susceptible individuals [2.5].
Cyclopentasiloxane Emollient
The European Union is restricting this ingredient to a maximum concentration of one tenth of a percent in leave on cosmetics effective June 2027.
PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone Emulsifier
Because it contains polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol it carries a risk of trace contamination with dioxane and ethylene oxide which are toxic byproducts of the manufacturing process [2.1].
PEG-12 Dimethicone/PPG-20 Crosspolymer Sensory Modifier
As an ethoxylated and propoxylated compound, it carries a risk of trace contamination with 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are probable human carcinogens [2.1].
Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone Emulsifier
Because it contains polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG) chains, it carries a potential risk of trace contamination with 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide from the ethoxylation manufacturing process.
Talc Sensory Modifier
Naturally mined talc deposits can be co located with asbestos a known carcinogen and despite strict purification standards for cosmetics trace contamination remains a persistent regulatory concern.
Sodium Chloride Other
Frequently assigned a high comedogenic rating in dermatological assessments, presenting a credible risk of pore clogging and acne exacerbation in leave-on products.
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
