Performance Scores

SPF Level
The labelled SPF 50+ maps directly to the 'Very high' protection tier, which is supported by the high concentration of encapsulated UVB/UVA filters.
Broad Spectrum
The combination of Avobenzone, Oxybenzone, and Octinoxate provides strong, continuous coverage across the UVA I, UVA II, and UVB spectrums.
Sweat Resistance
The formula lacks a dedicated water-resistance claim and contains only hydrophilic polymeric thickeners and gums rather than robust hydrophobic film formers.
Visible Light
The formula contains zero iron oxides, tinting agents, or pigmentary-grade mineral filters.
Irritation Risk
Contains multiple chemical UV filters at high concentrations, notably Oxybenzone and Avobenzone, which are known to cause stinging and allergic contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
The formulation is predominantly composed of non-comedogenic solvents, humectants, and UV filters, with only minor emulsifiers like lecithin and PEG-100 stearate carrying a low comedogenicity rating.
White Cast
Completely relies on chemical UV filters (octinoxate, avobenzone, oxybenzone) with zero mineral filters, meaning no white cast is possible.

Phenoxyethanol and EthylhexylglycerinPhenoxyethanol · Preservative
Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
Vitamin B3Vitamin · Antioxidant
Xanthan Gum, Lecithin, Sclerotium Gum, and PullulanGum · Thickener
The lecithin component should not be used in formulations containing nitrosating agents due to the potential formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines.
Sodium Acrylates Copolymer and LecithinPolymeric · Thickener
Lecithin should not be used in cosmetic products containing nitrosating agents due to the potential formation of carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds.

Disodium EDTAEDTA · Chelating Agent
Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.
