Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Manufacturer claims SPF 50, corroborated by the presence of multiple high-efficacy UVB-absorbing filters in the active ingredient list.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Uvinul A Plus delivers dedicated UVA I/II protection (peak 354 nm), while Tinosorb M (peak 360 nm) and Tinosorb S (peak 345 nm) offer robust overlapping broad-spectrum absorption.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Ingredients like Sodium Polyacrylate, Dimethicone, and Hydroxyethyl Acrylate Copolymer offer some film-forming infrastructure, but the lack of a verified manufacturer claim caps the score at 2.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Photobiology research confirms that Tinosorb S and Tinosorb M act as effective triplet-state quenchers, preventing the rapid UV-induced degradation of Octinoxate.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
The ingredient list completely lacks iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and visibly opaque mineral filters.
Irritation Risk
Low Risk
Irritation Risk
Niacinamide, centella asiatica, and licorice root have well-documented anti-inflammatory properties in dermatological literature that support skin barrier function.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales rate lightweight esters like Dicaprylyl Carbonate and ethoxylated emulsifiers like Steareth-21 at 1-2 out of 5, indicating very low risk of pore occlusion.
White Cast
Medium Risk
White Cast
Bisoctrizole acts partially by scattering visible light due to its insoluble microfine particle nature, resulting in visible white residue on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin (Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed).
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Octyltriazone UVB
Approved for use in the EU and Australia up to 5 percent but currently not authorized by the US FDA as an active sunscreen ingredient.
Bemotrizinol Broad Spectrum UV
Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Steareth-21 Emulsifier
As an ethoxylated compound it may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane and ethylene oxide which are probable carcinogens if not adequately purified during manufacturing [1.3.1].
Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer Sensory Modifier
Functions as a synthetic polymer microbead that is often classified as a microplastic, raising concerns about environmental persistence and marine pollution.
Arisaema Amurense Extract Skin Conditioning
The raw plant contains calcium oxalate crystals known to cause contact irritation, though cosmetic extracts are typically processed to mitigate this risk.
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.
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
Propylene Glycol Solvent
Recognized as a frequent cause of allergic contact dermatitis especially in individuals with eczema or compromised skin barriers.
