Excellent
Photo Stability
Photobiology literature universally recognizes both Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide as highly photostable inorganic filters requiring no supplementary stabilization.
Visible Light

Complete absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and pigmentary minerals intended for tinting in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological literature identifies linalool and linalyl acetate in lavender oil as frequent culprits in irritant and allergic contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
Medium Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological comedogenicity scales rate carrot seed oil at 3 to 4 out of 5 due to its high oleic acid profile, while shea butter provides a dense lipid base with a 0 to 2 rating.
White Cast
High Risk
White Cast
High-load, un-tinted mineral filters invariably produce intense white reflectance and scattering, appearing highly visible on Fitzpatrick III-VI skin.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
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
Carrot Seed Oil Emollient
Contains high levels of oleic acid and typically scores a 3 to 4 on the comedogenic scale making it likely to clog pores and exacerbate breakouts in acne prone individuals [2.4].
Lavender Essential Oil Fragrance
Contains linalool and linalyl acetate which are established contact allergens capable of causing skin sensitization and allergic contact dermatitis particularly when the oil undergoes oxidation.
Provitamin B5 Humectant
Widely used for its soothing properties but rare cases of allergic contact dermatitis have been documented in patch testing.
