Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 60, which is corroborated by the presence of four dedicated UVB filters and one broad-spectrum filter in the active ingredients.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Uvinul A Plus provides peak absorption at 354 nm, while Bemotrizinol covers 280-400 nm, fully supporting the PA++++ claim with continuous spectral coverage.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 provides structural viscosity but is a rheology modifier rather than a dedicated waterproofing agent like silicones or specialized acrylates.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Cosmetic science literature confirms both Octocrylene and Bemotrizinol act as excellent photostabilizers to prevent UV-induced degradation of Octinoxate.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Complete absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and physical mineral filters in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Short-chain alcohols at primary concentrations disrupt the stratum corneum lipid matrix, compounding the documented sensory irritation of menthol derivatives.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales and dermatological references rate volatile alcohols, the utilized synthetic UV filters (e.g., Homosalate, Octinoxate), and short-chain glycols at 0/5 for pore-clogging potential.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Organic filters such as octinoxate, octocrylene, and bemotrizinol dissolve fully into the formulation and do not reflect visible light on any skin tone.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Homosalate UVB
Laboratory studies indicate homosalate may act as an endocrine disruptor by interfering with hormone systems [1.1].
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Octisalate UVB
Clinical trials demonstrate systemic absorption into the bloodstream exceeding the FDA threshold requiring further safety testing.
Octocrylene UVB / UVA II
Banned in several jurisdictions due to evidence of coral toxicity and accumulation in marine life.
Uvinul A Plus UVA II / UVA I
Not approved by the US FDA as a sunscreen active and subject to strict EU impurity limits for the reproductive toxicant di n hexyl phthalate.
Bemotrizinol Broad Spectrum UV
Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Denatured alcohol Solvent
Can strip the skin of its natural lipids and moisture causing dryness and a compromised skin barrier.
