Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50+, corroborated by the presence of Ethylhexyl Triazone (peak absorption 314 nm) and Titanium Dioxide prominently in the active ingredients.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
The combination of Bisoctrizole (peak 360 nm), Bemotrizinol (peak 345 nm), and DHHB (peak 354 nm) ensures robust coverage from 315 nm up to 400 nm.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Presence of Acrylates/C12-22 Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer and Dimethicone provides structural water-resistant film-forming properties, but lacks standardized testing validation.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Filters such as Bemotrizinol, Bisoctrizole, DHHB, and Ethylhexyl Triazone are scientifically proven to be highly photostable and resist degradation upon UV exposure.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or pigmentary-grade opaque minerals in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Low Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological literature confirms that massive molecular weight filters (Tinosorb, Uvinul) exhibit extremely low percutaneous absorption and irritancy compared to older legacy filters.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales rate primary vehicle components like C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate and Isohexadecane at 0/5, while the only moderately rated ingredient, Laureth-23 (3/5), is located in the bottom third of the formulation.
White Cast
Medium Risk
White Cast
Bisoctrizole (Tinosorb M) and titanium dioxide both scatter visible light due to their particulate nature, creating a white residue on deeper skin tones.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Bemotrizinol Broad Spectrum UV
Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Ethylhexyl Triazone UVB
Currently not approved by the United States FDA for use in sunscreens though it is widely approved in the EU and other global markets.
Titanium Dioxide UVB / UVA II
Classified as a possible human carcinogen if inhaled making spray and powder formulations a potential risk while dermal application remains safe
Key Inactive Ingredients
Trilaureth-4 Phosphate Emulsifier
As an ethoxylated ingredient, it carries potential contamination concerns regarding trace amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane.
Propylene Glycol Solvent
Recognized as a frequent cause of allergic contact dermatitis especially in individuals with eczema or compromised skin barriers.
Lecithin Emollient
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review expert panel advises that lecithin should not be used in formulations containing nitrosating agents to prevent the formation of potentially carcinogenic N nitroso compounds [1.6].
Laureth-23 Emulsifier
Because it is an ethoxylated ingredient, the manufacturing process can leave trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are potential carcinogens.
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
Decyl Glucoside Surfactant
Named Contact Allergen of the Year in 2017 due to increasing reports of allergic contact dermatitis, though it remains safe and mild for the vast majority of users.
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
