Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Contains multiple potent UVB filters including Octinoxate, Tinosorb M, and Titanium Dioxide, which collectively provide maximum UVB attenuation.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Tinosorb M (peak 358 nm) and encapsulated Avobenzone offer extensive continuous absorption across the critical 340-400 nm UVA I range.
Sweat Resistance
Fair
Sweat Resistance
Dimethicone/Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer provides hydrophobicity, but the primary thickener (Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer) is highly sensitive to electrolytes, which undermines extended sweat resistance.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Phospholipid liposomal encapsulation physically isolates Avobenzone from free Octinoxate, preventing their known destabilizing cross-reaction, while Tinosorb M provides additional structural stabilization.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Complete absence of iron oxide colour indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or pigmentary-grade non-white minerals in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological patch test data consistently identifies Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) as a leading cause of sunscreen-induced photoallergic contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales and dermatological assessments rate the main vehicle ingredients at 0-1/5, while cetearyl alcohol (rated 2/5) appears too low on the ingredient list to pose a significant risk.
White Cast
Medium Risk
White Cast
Particulate UV filters like Tinosorb M and Titanium Dioxide consistently produce a visible white/blue reflectance on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin types without tinting.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Encapsulated UV Filter Blend Broad Spectrum UV
These next generation filters are not approved by the US FDA for over the counter sunscreen use due to pending safety data requirements.
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Bisoctrizole Blend Broad Spectrum UV
Formulated with decyl glucoside as a stabilizer which has been identified as a hidden allergen responsible for contact dermatitis in sunscreen users.
Titanium Dioxide Blend Broad Spectrum UV / High Energy Visible
Powdered and aerosolized forms are classified as suspected carcinogens by inhalation and recent European assessments raised genotoxicity concerns regarding incidental oral ingestion [1.9].
Key Inactive Ingredients
Propylene Glycol Solvent
Recognized as a frequent cause of allergic contact dermatitis especially in individuals with eczema or compromised skin barriers.
Alpha Arbutin Other
Restricted in the EU to a maximum concentration of 2 percent in face creams and half a percent in body lotions to minimize potential exposure to hydroquinone [2][12].
Bisabolol Skin Conditioning
While widely recognized as a skin-soothing agent, it can occasionally cause allergic contact dermatitis in individuals with pre-existing sensitivities to Compositae (aster and daisy family) plants [1.3.2].
Cetearyl Alcohol Emollient
Historically rated as mildly comedogenic in animal models but modern dermatological consensus indicates it is unlikely to clog pores in typical cosmetic formulations.
Corn Starch Sensory Modifier
While widely used to absorb oil some acne specialist lists flag corn starch as having comedogenic potential that may exacerbate breakouts in highly susceptible individuals [1.6].
Disodium EDTA Chelating Agent
Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.
Preservative Blend Preservative
While generally well tolerated both compounds have been identified as rare but relevant contact allergens that can induce dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
