Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50+, which is corroborated by the prominent active presence of high-efficacy UVB absorbers.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Avobenzone provides essential peak absorption in the UVA I range (340-400 nm), while Oxybenzone and Titanium Dioxide effectively bridge the UVA II gap (315-340 nm).
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Ingredients like Phenyl Trimethicone, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, and Polyacrylate-13 offer film-forming properties, but without verified 40- or 80-minute claims, functional durability is uncertain.
Photo Stability
Fair
Photo Stability
Encapsulation technology (SunCat DE) physically separates antagonistic filters to reduce UV-induced degradation pathways, secondarily supported by Tocopheryl Acetate and Niacinamide.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
CI 77491, CI 77492, and CI 77499 are listed after the preservative Phenoxyethanol (position 24), suggesting concentrations typically well below 1%.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological literature identifies oxybenzone as the most frequent photoallergen among UV filters, with avobenzone also demonstrating notable sensitization rates.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales rate the primary solvents and silicones (isododecane, cyclopentasiloxane, phenyl trimethicone) at 0/5, while minor components like glyceryl oleate/linoleate and tocopheryl acetate generally score between 1/5 and 2/5.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Formulations combining mineral UV filters with iron oxide pigments effectively eliminate visible reflectance on all Fitzpatrick skin types.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate, Avobenzone, Oxybenzone, Phospholipids, and Butylene Glycol Blend Broad Spectrum UV
Multiple studies confirm that oxybenzone and octinoxate exhibit estrogenic and antiandrogenic activity which can disrupt thyroid and reproductive hormones [1.2].
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
Phenyl Trimethicone Emollient
May contain trace amounts of cyclic siloxanes (such as D4 and D5) from the manufacturing process, which are restricted in the EU due to environmental bioaccumulation concerns [2.7].
Cyclopentasiloxane Emollient
The European Union is restricting this ingredient to a maximum concentration of one tenth of a percent in leave on cosmetics effective June 2027.
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].
Polyacrylate-13 Blend Thickener
Polysorbate 20 is an ethoxylated ingredient that may be contaminated with trace amounts of one four dioxane which is a probable human carcinogen depending on the manufacturing process [1.7].
Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
Disodium EDTA Chelating Agent
Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.
