Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Ethylhexyl Triazone acts as a highly efficient UVB filter with peak absorption at 314 nm, validating the strong sunburn protection claim.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate offers strong UVA I coverage with peak absorption at 354 nm, complementing the broad attenuation of Bisoctrizole up to 400 nm.
Sweat Resistance
Fair
Sweat Resistance
Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer and Dimethicone provide structural wash-off resistance, but robust dedicated water-proofing agents like VP/Eicosene Copolymer are absent.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Cosmetic science literature confirms that Bisoctrizole, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, and Ethylhexyl Triazone exhibit outstanding inherent photostability under sustained UV exposure.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
A complete absence of iron oxide colour indices (such as CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or tinted minerals in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Propylene glycol is a well-documented mild irritant and penetration enhancer capable of triggering contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity databases rate the primary vehicle components (C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Dimethicone, Silica) at 0-1/5, while minor emulsifiers like glyceryl stearate are rated 1-2/5.
White Cast
Medium Risk
White Cast
Bisoctrizole functions as a micro-particulate suspension that scatters visible light, consistently causing a white cast on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin without nano-technology claims.

Propylene Glycol Solvent
Recognized as a frequent cause of allergic contact dermatitis especially in individuals with eczema or compromised skin barriers.
Decyl Glucoside Surfactant
Named Contact Allergen of the Year in 2017 due to increasing reports of allergic contact dermatitis, though it remains safe and mild for the vast majority of users.
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
