Performance Scores

SPF Level

Excellent

Label claims SPF 50, which aligns with the presence of a well-formulated Zinc Oxide dispersion acting as the core protective filter.

Broad Spectrum

Excellent

Zinc Oxide inherently absorbs and scatters UV radiation continuously from 280 nm up to roughly 400 nm, providing extensive UVA I coverage.

Sweat Resistance

Excellent

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer combined with volatile Isododecane creates a substantive, water-repellent silicone film upon evaporation.

Photo Stability

Excellent

Photobiology literature establishes that Zinc Oxide does not undergo photodegradation or lose its protective capacity upon absorbing UV photons.

Visible Light

Poor

Absence of iron oxide colour indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) in the ingredient list.

Irritation Risk

Low Risk

Zinc oxide and silicone crosspolymers are extensively documented in dermatological literature as non-irritating and barrier-protective, making them ideal for hypersensitive skin.

Pore Clogging

High Risk

Dermatological comedogenicity scales consistently rate isostearic acid at 4 to 5 out of 5 due to its propensity to induce follicular hyperkeratosis.

White Cast

High Risk

High-concentration zinc oxide required for SPF 50 scatters visible light (400-700 nm), causing clinically observable whitening on Fitzpatrick III-VI skin (Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed).
