Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims an SPF 50, corroborated by high-efficacy UVB absorbers positioned prominently in the active ingredients list.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Avobenzone effectively absorbs across the 340-400 nm range, while Oxybenzone and Titanium Dioxide provide robust bridging coverage in the 315-340 nm UVA II spectrum.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The presence of Dimethicone and Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 provides some surface film-forming capacity, but without heavy water-proofing agents or a manufacturer claim, durability is minimal.
Photo Stability
Poor
Photo Stability
Photobiological research demonstrates that unencapsulated Avobenzone and Octinoxate undergo accelerated degradation under UV exposure when combined without strong triplet-state quenchers.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
There is a complete absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and pigment-grade minerals in the provided ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological literature frequently cites benzophenone-3 (oxybenzone) as one of the most common chemical sunscreen agents responsible for allergic and photoallergic contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales rate the main vehicle components (water, butylene glycol, alkane) at 0/5, with ingredients like caprylic/capric triglyceride and glyceryl stearate generally rated 1-2/5.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Low concentrations of un-tinted titanium dioxide in a predominantly chemical vehicle typically blend transparently on Fitzpatrick I-IV skin.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Avobenzone UVA I / UVA II
Rapidly degrades under UV exposure losing significant UVA protection capacity unless stabilized by other filters.
Oxybenzone 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 Dioxide UVB / UVA II
Classified as a possible human carcinogen if inhaled making spray and powder formulations a potential risk while dermal application remains safe
Key Inactive Ingredients
Arachidyl Glucoside Emulsifier
While generally considered mild and safe, alkyl glucosides can occasionally cause allergic contact dermatitis in sensitized individuals.
PEG-100 Stearate Emulsifier
PEG compounds may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane, a probable carcinogen, as a byproduct of the ethoxylation manufacturing process.
Lecithin Emollient
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].
Vitamin A Palmitate Antioxidant
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].
Caprylyl Glycol Preservative
Generally well tolerated and considered safe for most skin types though rare cases of allergic contact dermatitis have been documented [2.1].
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
Disodium EDTA Chelating Agent
Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.
