Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
The product explicitly claims SPF 50, corroborated by highly effective UVB filters including Ethylhexyl Triazone and Titanium Dioxide.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (peak 354 nm) and Zinc Oxide (peak 370 nm) provide complementary and robust protection throughout the critical 340-400 nm UVA I range.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Trimethylsiloxysilicate, a potent cross-linked silicone film former, is present, but the absence of an official 40- or 80-minute claim limits the verifiable score.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Photobiology research confirms that Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate and Ethylhexyl Triazone are highly photostable, requiring no secondary stabilization alongside the inert mineral filters.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
CI 77492, CI 77491, and CI 77499 appear at positions 31-33, succeeding fragrance and preservatives, serving as a sheer tint rather than a dense pigmentary shield.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Propylene glycol is a documented irritant and contact allergen, particularly affecting patients with eczema or rosacea.
Pore Clogging
High Risk
Pore Clogging
Established dermatological reference databases and comedogenicity scales assign sodium chloride a 5/5 rating and tocopherol a 2-3/5 rating for pore-clogging potential.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Iron oxides (CI 77492, CI 77491, CI 77499) act as opaque cosmetic pigments that counteract the high refractive index of mineral UV filters on all skin tones.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Titanium Dioxide UVB / UVA II
Classified as a possible human carcinogen if inhaled making spray and powder formulations a potential risk while dermal application remains safe
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.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Propylene Glycol Solvent
Recognized as a frequent cause of allergic contact dermatitis especially in individuals with eczema or compromised skin barriers.
Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone Emulsifier
Because it contains polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG) chains, it carries a potential risk of trace contamination with 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide from the ethoxylation manufacturing process.
Cyclopentasiloxane Emollient
The European Union is restricting this ingredient to a maximum concentration of one tenth of a percent in leave on cosmetics effective June 2027.
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
Sodium Chloride Other
Frequently assigned a high comedogenic rating in dermatological assessments, presenting a credible risk of pore clogging and acne exacerbation in leave-on products.
Tocopherol Antioxidant
Can be mildly to moderately comedogenic, especially in pure forms or high concentrations, which may contribute to clogged pores in acne-prone skin [2.4].
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
