Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50, which is corroborated by the inclusion of Octinoxate both within a stabilised blend and as a standalone active.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Avobenzone delivers deep UVA I coverage up to 400 nm, while Ecamsule effectively bridges the UVA II and lower UVA I gap with a peak absorption of 344 nm.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The inactive ingredient list consists primarily of water, glycols, and botanical extracts without any structural water-proofing agents.
Photo Stability
Fair
Photo Stability
Cosmetic science literature confirms encapsulation technologies physically isolate reactive filters; however, additional free Octinoxate poses a residual destabilisation risk to Avobenzone.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Absence of iron oxide colour indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and pigmentary minerals in the provided ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological literature identifies oxybenzone as a primary cause of photoallergic contact dermatitis, while menthol is a known skin aggravator.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales rate the main vehicles (water, butylene glycol) and chemical filters at 0, with only minor lipids (tocopheryl acetate, polyglyceryl-10 stearate) present which carry a negligible 1-2 rating.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Organic filters like avobenzone, oxybenzone, and ecamsule operate by absorbing rather than reflecting UV radiation, leaving no visible white residue on any skin tone.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate, Avobenzone, Oxybenzone, Phospholipids, and Butylene Glycol Broad Spectrum UV
Oxybenzone and octinoxate have demonstrated endocrine disrupting properties in laboratory studies and are under regulatory review for hormonal interference.
Methoxycinnamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine UVB / UVA II
This ingredient is not officially approved as an active sunscreen filter by the United States Food and Drug Administration or the European Union.
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
Sweet Orange Peel Extract Skin Conditioning
Contains natural volatile fragrance compounds like limonene that can cause allergic contact dermatitis and skin sensitization, particularly when oxidized.
Menthol Fragrance
Menthol is a recognized skin aggravator that can cause redness, dryness, and barrier disruption, which may paradoxically trigger excess oil production in acne-prone skin [2.2].
