Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50, corroborated by the prominent presence of Ethylhexyl Triazone (peak absorption 314 nm) to effectively attenuate UVB radiation.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
The combination of Uvinul A Plus (peak 354 nm), Tinosorb S (peak 345 nm), and Tinosorb M (peak 360 nm) provides overlapping and comprehensive absorption across the critical UVA I and UVA II spectrums.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Ingredients like Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer and gums provide structural viscosity and minor film-forming properties, but are insufficient for durable water resistance without dedicated hydrophobic polymers.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Photobiology literature confirms that Tinosorb S, Tinosorb M, Uvinul A Plus, and Uvinul T 150 are highly photostable and maintain structural integrity under sustained UV radiation.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Total absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or tinted mineral agents in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Low Risk
Irritation Risk
Clinical patch testing shows that trace concentrations of decyl glucoside and propylene glycol within complex emulsion systems rarely trigger irritant contact dermatitis in healthy skin.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales rate the primary vehicle components such as C12-15 alkyl benzoate and glycerin at 0/5, with triethanolamine typically rated 2/5 at trace concentrations.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (Tinosorb M) functions via both absorption and scattering of UV light due to its microfine particulate nature (Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed).
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Uvinul A Plus UVA II / UVA I
Not approved by the US FDA as a sunscreen active and subject to strict EU impurity limits for the reproductive toxicant di n hexyl phthalate.
Uvinul T 150 UVB
Not approved by the US FDA for use as an active sunscreen ingredient but is widely approved in the EU and other regions up to 5 percent.
Tinosorb S Broad Spectrum UV
Generally well tolerated but recent dermatological case reports identify it as a rare emerging contact allergen.
Tinosorb M Broad Spectrum UV
Approved for use in the European Union and other regions but remains unapproved by the US FDA due to a lack of submitted safety data under current GRASE standards.
Octisalate UVB
Clinical trials demonstrate systemic absorption into the bloodstream exceeding the FDA threshold requiring further safety testing.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Polysorbate 80 Emulsifier
As an ethoxylated compound, it carries a theoretical risk of contamination with 1,4-dioxane, a probable carcinogen formed during the manufacturing process.
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.
Propylene Glycol Solvent
Recognized as a frequent cause of allergic contact dermatitis especially in individuals with eczema or compromised skin barriers.
Butyloctyl Salicylate Solvent
Structurally similar to octisalate, it has been flagged in predictive modeling studies for potential weak estrogen receptor binding activity.
Sodium Carbomer Thickener
Carbomers may contain trace amounts of benzene, a known carcinogen, from older manufacturing processes, though modern production largely avoids its use.
Glyceryl Dibehenate Emollient
May contain 1,2-diglycerides as a byproduct, which the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel notes could potentially induce epidermal hyperplasia if present in high concentrations.
Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
Triethanolamine pH Adjuster
May react with nitrosating agents in formulations to form nitrosamines which are potential carcinogens.
