Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50, which is corroborated by high-efficacy UVB-absorbing filters positioned prominently in the active ingredients list.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate peaks at 354 nm (strong UVA I), complementing Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine's broad 280-400 nm absorption curve.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The inclusion of Acrylates/C12-22 Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer provides an acrylic film-forming matrix known to enhance water resistance in cosmetics.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Photobiology literature confirms that Ethylhexyl Triazone, DHHB, Tinosorb S, and Polysilicone-15 are highly photostable molecules that do not significantly degrade under UV exposure.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Total absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or pigmentary-grade non-white minerals in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Propylene glycol is a recognized irritant and contact allergen, particularly in patients with eczematous or barrier-impaired skin.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological reference databases and clinical scales rate the primary vehicle ingredients (C12-15 alkyl benzoate, diisopropyl adipate) at 0-1/5, with no ingredients exceeding a 2/5 comedogenicity rating.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Formulations relying entirely on organic/chemical filters do not exhibit the physical light-scattering properties that cause white cast on deeper skin tones.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
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.
Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine Broad Spectrum UV
Although widely tolerated and nonirritating for most users recent dermatological reports identify it as an emerging allergen capable of causing rare cases of allergic contact dermatitis [2.1]
Polysilicone-15 UVB
Approved for use in the EU and Australia up to ten percent concentration but not yet approved by the US FDA as an active sunscreen ingredient.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Propylene Glycol Solvent
Recognized as a frequent cause of allergic contact dermatitis especially in individuals with eczema or compromised skin barriers.
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
Bisabolol Skin Conditioning
While widely recognized as a skin-soothing agent, it can occasionally cause allergic contact dermatitis in individuals with pre-existing sensitivities to Compositae (aster and daisy family) plants [1.3.2].
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
Disodium EDTA Chelating Agent
Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.
Fragrance Fragrance

CI 45430 Colorant
Banned by the US FDA for use in cosmetics and externally applied drugs in 1990 due to animal carcinogenicity data.
