Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claim of SPF 50+ is verified by the high-ranking presence of exceptionally potent UVB-absorbing filters including Ethylhexyl Triazone (Uvinul T 150) and Bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S).
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (peak 354 nm) and Bisoctrizole (peak 360 nm) provide intense, overlapping coverage deep into the critical UVA I zone (340-400 nm).
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The inclusion of Acrylates/C12-22 Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer provides a basic water-resistant infrastructure, but without an explicit 40- or 80-minute claim, higher durability cannot be verified.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Dermatological literature confirms that Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb S, Tinosorb M, and Ethylhexyl Triazone exhibit outstanding photostability without degrading upon UV photon absorption.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Complete absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and pigment-grade non-nano minerals in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Low Risk
Irritation Risk
Clinical data supports the safety and tolerability of modern large-molecule filters (BEMT, MBBT) and ceramide complexes for maintaining an intact epidermal barrier.
Pore Clogging
Medium Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological reference scales commonly rate Laminaria Digitata (kelp extract) at 3/5 to 4/5 for comedogenicity, as marine extracts high in iodine can irritate the pore and induce follicular hyperkeratinization.
White Cast
Medium Risk
White Cast
Bisoctrizole is an organic particulate filter that scatters UV and visible light, consistently producing a mild-to-moderate white cast on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Ethylhexyl Triazone UVB
Currently not approved by the United States FDA for use in sunscreens though it is widely approved in the EU and other global markets.
Bemotrizinol Broad Spectrum UV
Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
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
Grapefruit Extract Skin Conditioning
Citrus fruit extracts contain furanocoumarins like 5 methoxypsoralen which can cause phototoxic reactions when exposed to UV light prompting regulatory limits for leave on products [8.5].
Kelp Extract Skin Conditioning

Lecithin Emollient
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review expert panel advises that lecithin should not be used in formulations containing nitrosating agents to prevent the formation of potentially carcinogenic N nitroso compounds [1.6].
Decyl Glucoside Surfactant
Named Contact Allergen of the Year in 2017 due to increasing reports of allergic contact dermatitis, though it remains safe and mild for the vast majority of users.
Coco-Glucoside Surfactant
Alkyl glucosides are recognized as emerging contact allergens that can cause allergic contact dermatitis particularly in individuals with compromised skin barriers [1.3].
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.
Propylene Glycol Solvent
Recognized as a frequent cause of allergic contact dermatitis especially in individuals with eczema or compromised skin barriers.
Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide Skin Conditioning
Subject to EU Cosmetics Regulation Annex III limits on secondary amine impurities to prevent the formation of potential nitrosamines [2.2].
