SPF Level
The formulation contains multiple highly efficacious UVB filters positioned at the top of the active ingredients list to substantiate the SPF 50 claim.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
DHHB (Uvinul A Plus) provides peak absorption at 354 nm, offering robust protection across the 320-400 nm spectrum to validate the PA+++ rating.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The inclusion of Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, and Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer creates a water-repellent film on the skin.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Cosmetic photobiology literature confirms that Octocrylene acts as an effective stabilizer for other UV filters, mitigating the known photodegradation of Octinoxate.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Total absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492) and non-nano mineral filters in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Patch testing literature identifies octocrylene as a notable photoallergen, while undisclosed fragrance mixes frequently trigger allergic contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical and dermatological evaluations rate the primary vehicle components (cyclopentasiloxane, isododecane) and primary emollient (C12-15 alkyl benzoate) as non-comedogenic (0 on a 0-5 scale).
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Organic (chemical) UV filters absorb rather than scatter visible light, eliminating the possibility of a white cast on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin tones.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters

Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
