Performance Scores

SPF Level
The labeled SPF 50 directly maps to the 'Very high' protection tier, which is supported by the inclusion of multiple UVB filters including Octinoxate and Oxybenzone.
Broad Spectrum
The formulation offers strong broad-spectrum protection with Avobenzone covering the UVA I range, seamlessly overlapping with UVA II coverage from Oxybenzone and Titanium Dioxide.
Sweat Resistance
The formula contains basic structural polymers and silicones that provide incidental adhesion, but lacks a formal water resistance claim and robust hydrophobic film-forming infrastructure.
Visible Light
The formulation completely lacks iron oxides, pigmentary minerals, or tinting agents necessary to meaningfully attenuate visible light or high-energy visible (blue) light.
Irritation Risk
Contains high concentrations of older organic UV filters (oxybenzone, avobenzone) known to cause contact dermatitis, compounded by retinyl palmitate.
Pore Clogging
The formulation primarily relies on non-comedogenic UV filters, solvents, and low-risk emollients, with only minor lipids rated 1-2/5 present at low to moderate concentrations.
White Cast
The formulation relies primarily on chemical filters; titanium dioxide is present but positioned low (15th), resulting in minimal cast potential.

Ingredients Analysis

Active Filters

OctinoxateChemical · UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
AvobenzoneChemical · UVA I/UVA II
Rapidly degrades under UV exposure losing significant UVA protection capacity unless stabilized by other filters.
OxybenzoneChemical · UVB/UVA II
Clinical trials demonstrate that single applications lead to blood concentrations vastly exceeding safety thresholds and remaining detectable for weeks [1.1].
Titanium DioxideMineral · UVB/UVA II
Classified as a possible human carcinogen if inhaled making spray and powder formulations a potential risk while dermal application remains safe

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review expert panel advises that lecithin should not be used in formulations containing nitrosating agents to prevent the formation of potentially carcinogenic N nitroso compounds [1.6].

The EU restricts retinyl palmitate to a maximum of 0.05 percent retinol equivalent in body lotions and 0.3 percent in other products to prevent exceeding safe systemic vitamin A intake limits [1.11].
