Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Supported by the prominent inclusion of strong UVB absorbers like Octinoxate, Oxybenzone, and Titanium Dioxide in the active ingredient blend.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Avobenzone acts as the primary UVA I filter (absorbing up to 400 nm), while Oxybenzone and Titanium Dioxide bridge the 315-340 nm UVA II gap.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The inclusion of Polyacrylate-13 and Polyisobutene offers basic film-forming properties, but without heavy hydrophobic polymers or a formal testing claim, robust water resistance is unsupported.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Phospholipid encapsulation (SunCat DE) physically prevents cross-degradation between Avobenzone and Octinoxate, while Vitamins C and E help quench UV-induced free radicals.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Complete absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and dedicated opaque tinting agents in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Clinical patch test data frequently identifies oxybenzone and avobenzone as leading causes of allergic and photoallergic contact dermatitis among UV filters.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological comedogenicity databases evaluate the primary volatile hydrocarbons and short-chain synthetic esters as 0/5, far outweighing the minor presence of fatty acid emulsifiers and vitamins that rarely exceed a 2/5 in human clinical assays.
White Cast
Medium Risk
White Cast
Moderate concentrations of un-tinted titanium dioxide scatter visible light, consistently producing visible reflectance on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin types.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate, Avobenzone, Oxybenzone, Phospholipids, and Butylene Glycol blend Broad Spectrum UV
Oxybenzone and octinoxate exhibit estrogenic and antiandrogenic activity which may disrupt normal hormonal functions [1.4].
Titanium Dioxide, Silica, and Dimethicone blend Broad Spectrum UV / High Energy Visible
Banned as a food additive in the European Union over genotoxicity concerns and restricted in inhalable cosmetic powders and sprays due to suspected inhalation carcinogenicity [1.3].
Key Inactive Ingredients
Blood Orange Extract Skin Conditioning
Citrus extracts can contain furanocoumarins like 5 methoxypsoralen which may cause phytophotodermatitis upon ultraviolet exposure if not strictly limited in leave on products [1.5].
Polyacrylate-13, Polyisobutene, and Polysorbate 20 blend Thickener
Polysorbate 20 is an ethoxylated ingredient that may be contaminated with trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are probable carcinogens linked to the manufacturing process [2.6].
Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, and Octenidine HCl blend Preservative
While generally considered safe both ethylhexylglycerin and phenoxyethanol have been identified as rare but potential causes of allergic contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals [2.1].
