Performance Scores

SPF Level

Excellent

The input specifies an SPF 50 rating, corroborated by the inclusion of dedicated UVB-absorbing agents.

Broad Spectrum

Excellent

Uvinul A Plus (peaks at 354 nm) and avobenzone (peaks at 357 nm) are highly effective UVA filters that provide comprehensive broad-spectrum defense.

Sweat Resistance

Poor

Formulation science identifies Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate as a water-in-oil emulsifier that inherently improves the water resistance of sunscreen emulsions.

Photo Stability

Fair

Photobiology literature confirms that phospholipid encapsulation of avobenzone and octinoxate reduces, but does not completely eliminate, their mutual photodegradation.

Visible Light

Poor

Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and Titanium Dioxide appear at positions 17 and 16, well below the standard 1% preservative threshold.

Irritation Risk

Medium Risk

Dermatological patch test data identifies avobenzone as a known, albeit uncommon, cause of allergic and photoallergic contact dermatitis.

Pore Clogging

Low Risk

Clinical comedogenicity scales rate the primary vehicle ingredients (glycerin, betaine, C12-15 alkyl benzoate) at 0/5, while olive-derived emulsifiers like cetearyl olivate and sorbitan olivate typically score 1-2/5.

White Cast

Low Risk

Iron oxides provide visible-spectrum pigment that effectively masks mineral UV filter reflectance across Fitzpatrick III-VI skin types.

Rare instances of phytophotodermatitis have been reported with sunscreens containing carrot extract, likely due to trace furanocoumarins.

Phenoxyethanol PhenoxyethanolPreservative

Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.

Disodium EDTA EDTAChelating Agent

Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.
