Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
The manufacturer's SPF 50+ claim is a direct lookup for the tier and is substantiated by multiple chemical UVB absorbers in the upper ingredient list.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Bisoctrizole and the encapsulated blend peak at 360 nm and 345 nm respectively for deep UVA I coverage, while Ecamsule reinforces the UVA II spectrum.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Acrylates Crosspolymer-4 is recognized as a polymeric thickener that can enhance water-resistance in sunscreen formulations.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Phospholipid encapsulation prevents the mutual degradation of Avobenzone and Octinoxate, while Ecamsule provides an inherently photostable foundation.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
An inspection of the ingredient list reveals zero iron oxide color indices or non-nano mineral UV filters.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Benzophenone-3 (oxybenzone) is highly documented in dermatological literature as a leading cause of sunscreen-induced photoallergic contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological reference databases and clinical studies assign a 0/5 comedogenicity rating to the primary base ingredients (water, disiloxane, propanediol) and the included emulsifiers.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Bisoctrizole at low concentrations in mixed systems generally blends transparently even on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin (J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol).
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 Dispersion Broad Spectrum UV
Cases of allergic contact dermatitis have been documented and are predominantly attributed to the dispersant decyl glucoside rather than the filter itself.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Polysorbate 20 Surfactant
As an ethoxylated ingredient, it may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are potential carcinogens linked to the manufacturing process.
Disodium EDTA Chelating Agent
Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.
Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
