Performance Scores

SPF Level

Excellent

Contains multiple potent UVB filters including Octinoxate, Tinosorb M, and Titanium Dioxide, which collectively provide maximum UVB attenuation.

Broad Spectrum

Excellent

Tinosorb M (peak 358 nm) and encapsulated Avobenzone offer extensive continuous absorption across the critical 340-400 nm UVA I range.

Sweat Resistance

Fair

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

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

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

Dermatological patch test data consistently identifies Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) as a leading cause of sunscreen-induced photoallergic contact dermatitis.

Pore Clogging

Low Risk

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

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 ChemicalBroad 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 ChemicalUVB

Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.

Bisoctrizole Blend HybridBroad 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 MineralBroad 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].

Butylene Glycol GlycolSolvent
Behenyl Alcohol WaxThickener
Propylene Glycol GlycolSolvent

Recognized as a frequent cause of allergic contact dermatitis especially in individuals with eczema or compromised skin barriers.

Silicone Elastomer Blend Silicone ElastomerSensory Modifier
Alpha Arbutin MiscellaneousOther

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].

Mango Fruit Extract Botanical ExtractSkin Conditioning
Bisabolol Botanical ExtractSkin 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].

Vitamin E Acetate VitaminAntioxidant
Vitamin B5 OtherHumectant
Cetyl Palmitate Fatty Acid EsterEmollient
Cetearyl Alcohol WaxEmollient

Historically rated as mildly comedogenic in animal models but modern dermatological consensus indicates it is unlikely to clog pores in typical cosmetic formulations.

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate AnionicEmulsifier
Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate AnionicEmulsifier
Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer PolymericThickener
Corn Starch Mattifying AgentSensory 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 EDTAChelating Agent

Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.

Preservative Blend PhenoxyethanolPreservative

While generally well tolerated both compounds have been identified as rare but relevant contact allergens that can induce dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
