Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50, which is functionally corroborated by prominent UVB filters like Homosalate, Octinoxate, and Octocrylene in the upper ingredient list.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Bemotrizinol (peak 345 nm) and DHHB (peak 354 nm) act synergistically to cover the critical 315-400 nm range, fully justifying the highest PA++++ rating.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 acts primarily as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer, providing significantly weaker water-proofing infrastructure than dedicated cosmetic film formers like silicones or acrylates copolymers.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Cosmetic science literature confirms that both Octocrylene and Bemotrizinol act as robust triplet-state quenchers, preventing the UV-induced degradation of Octinoxate.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
A scan of the ingredient list confirms the total absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492) and non-nano mineral filters.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
High concentrations of short-chain volatile alcohols are established in dermatological literature as profound epidermal lipid strippers and barrier disruptors.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity evaluations rate the primary vehicle ingredients (denatured alcohol, propanediol) and all included chemical UV filters (such as homosalate and octocrylene) at a 0/5.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Chemical UV filters are fully soluble organic compounds that absorb rather than scatter UV rays, preventing visible light reflection on the skin.
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.
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.
Ethyl Ascorbic Acid Antioxidant
Although generally well tolerated, there are documented case reports of allergic contact dermatitis and skin sensitization linked to this specific vitamin C derivative [1.7].
