Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
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
Broad Spectrum
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
Sweat Resistance
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
Photo Stability
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
Visible Light
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
Irritation 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
Pore Clogging
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
White Cast
Nano-particulate organic filters like Tinosorb M scatter UV light slightly, but micronization significantly reduces the whitening effect (Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed).
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.
Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol Broad Spectrum UV
Not approved by the US FDA for use as an active sunscreen ingredient despite widespread approval and use in Europe and Asia.
Key Inactive Ingredients
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.
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
t-Butyl Alcohol Solvent
Can cause mild skin and eye irritation in high concentrations, though it is considered safe at the very low levels typically used in cosmetics.
