Performance Scores

SPF Level

Excellent

Ethylhexyl Triazone (peak 314 nm) and Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone (peak 310 nm) are highly efficient, photostable UVB filters that yield high SPF values in combination.

Broad Spectrum

Excellent

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate provide strong absorption in the critical UVA I range with peaks at 360 nm and 354 nm respectively.

Sweat Resistance

Poor

Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate acts primarily as an emulsion stabilizer and light film-former rather than a dedicated, heavy waterproofing agent like specialized silicones or acrylates.

Photo Stability

Excellent

Photobiology literature confirms that Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, and Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone do not undergo significant photodegradation.

Visible Light

Poor

Absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and pigmentary minerals in the ingredient list.

Irritation Risk

Low Risk

Dermatological studies confirm that newer filters like Bisoctrizole and Ethylhexyl Triazone have significantly lower rates of contact dermatitis compared to legacy organic filters.

Pore Clogging

Low Risk

Dermatological comedogenicity scales rate the primary vehicle ingredients (water, dibutyl adipate, propanediol) at 0/5, with tocopherol (2-3/5) present only in trace amounts near the bottom of the ingredient list.

White Cast

Low Risk

Nano-particulate organic filters like Tinosorb M scatter UV light slightly, but micronization significantly reduces the whitening effect (Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed).
