Performance Scores

SPF Level

Excellent

There is a complete absence of any recognized chemical or mineral UV filters in the formulation to support UV attenuation.

Broad Spectrum

Poor

The ingredient list lacks any known UVA I or UVA II absorbers (e.g., Avobenzone, Zinc Oxide, Tinosorb derivatives).

Sweat Resistance

Poor

Acrylates copolymer at position 5 provides theoretical film-forming properties, but the primary ingredients are foaming cleansing surfactants.

Photo Stability

Poor

Zero photolabile or photostable UV filters exist within the ingredient list.

Visible Light

Poor

No iron oxides (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or pigmentary-grade minerals are present in the formulation.

Irritation Risk

High Risk

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate is a robust cleansing agent known to disrupt the skin barrier and cause irritant contact dermatitis, particularly if used in a leave-on capacity.

Pore Clogging

High Risk

Clinical and dermatological comedogenicity scales consistently rate coconut oil as 4/5 due to its high levels of lauric and myristic acids, which readily penetrate and occlude follicles.

White Cast

Low Risk

White cast is exclusively generated by the reflection and scattering of light from insoluble inorganic particulate filters, which are absent here.

Key Inactive Ingredients

Water WaterSolvent
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate CleansingSurfactant

A robust cleansing agent that can disrupt the skin barrier and cause skin and eye irritation leading regulatory bodies to restrict its use to a maximum of two percent in leave on products.

Glycerin GlycerinHumectant
Cocamidopropyl betaine CleansingSurfactant

This ingredient is associated with allergic contact dermatitis and was named Allergen of the Year in 2004 although reactions are predominantly linked to manufacturing impurities.

Acrylates copolymer AcrylicFilm Former

The EU REACH regulation restricts synthetic polymer microparticles to address environmental pollution which impacts certain particulate forms of acrylates copolymer with phase outs for leave on cosmetics beginning in 2029.

Decyl glucoside CleansingSurfactant

It is increasingly recognized as a contact allergen and was named Allergen of the Year in 2017 frequently appearing as a hidden allergen in the UV filter Tinosorb M.

PEG-7 Glyceryl cocoate NonionicEmulsifier

Because it undergoes ethoxylation, this ingredient may contain trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are probable human carcinogens linked to the manufacturing process.

Polysorbate 20 SolubilizerSurfactant

As an ethoxylated ingredient, it may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are potential carcinogens linked to the manufacturing process.

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor oil NonionicEmulsifier

As an ethoxylated ingredient it may contain trace amounts of 1 4 dioxane and ethylene oxide which are potential carcinogens formed during manufacturing.

Coconut Oil Natural OilEmollient

Widely recognized as highly comedogenic meaning it can easily clog pores and exacerbate breakouts in oily skin types.
