Performance Scores
SPF Level
The labelled SPF 50 maps directly to the 'Very high' protection tier, supported by a dense combination of mineral and chemical UVB filters.
Broad Spectrum
Robust broad-spectrum coverage is achieved through overlapping UVA I and UVA II filters, notably Zinc Oxide and Avobenzone, though the latter's instability compromises sustained depth.
Sweat Resistance
The product lacks a formal water-resistance claim and contains only basic thickeners and film formers, providing minimal durability against water or sweat.
Visible Light
The formulation completely lacks iron oxides or dedicated tinting agents necessary to meaningfully attenuate visible light and high-energy visible light.
Irritation Risk
Formulated with organic UV filters (octocrylene, avobenzone) and alpha lipoic acid, which collectively present a moderate risk of contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
The formulation contains several moderately comedogenic lipids, including stearic acid and lecithin, located in the upper-middle section of the ingredient list.
White Cast
Formulated with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide at positions 2 and 3 respectively, creating a heavy mineral load without any iron oxide tinting agents.
