Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Web search confirms the product claims SPF 50+, which is corroborated by the presence of Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Benzophenone-3.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Avobenzone provides peak absorption in the UVA I range (357 nm), while Benzophenone-3 offers overlapping UVA II coverage (up to 350 nm).
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Ingredients like Pullulan, Xanthan Gum, and Sodium Acrylates Copolymer provide light film-forming but lack the hydrophobicity required for durable water resistance.
Photo Stability
Fair
Photo Stability
The active ingredient is a microencapsulated dispersion that physically separates Avobenzone and Octinoxate to prevent their known cross-degradation.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or pigmentary-grade minerals in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological literature identifies Oxybenzone as one of the most frequent chemical UV filters associated with photoallergy and contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological databases and clinical comedogenicity scales rate the primary vehicle components and chemical UV filters at 0/5, with minor emulsifiers like PEG-100 Stearate and butylene glycol rated at a maximum of 1/5.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Chemical UV filters absorb rather than reflect light, inherently preventing any visible white cast on all Fitzpatrick skin types.

Oxybenzone and octinoxate exhibit estrogenic and antiandrogenic activity which may disrupt human hormone systems based on multiple toxicological studies [1.1].
Key Inactive Ingredients
Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
Xanthan Gum, Lecithin, Sclerotium Gum, and Pullulan 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 Lecithin Thickener
Lecithin should not be used in cosmetic products containing nitrosating agents due to the potential formation of carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds.
Disodium EDTA Chelating Agent
Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.
