Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50, corroborated by the presence of primary UVB filters Octinoxate (peak 311 nm) and Iscotrizinol (peak 310 nm).
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Avobenzone provides critical peak absorption at 357 nm (UVA I), while Bemotrizinol covers the 280-400 nm spectrum and provides essential overlapping protection.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Ingredients like Polymethylsilsesquioxane and Sodium Acrylates Copolymer offer minor film-forming properties but are insufficient for durable, verifiable water resistance.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Photobiology literature confirms that Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (Bemotrizinol) effectively quenches triplet states to prevent the UV-induced degradation of the Avobenzone-Octinoxate combination.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
A complete absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and pigmentary-grade non-nano mineral filters in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Propylene Glycol is a well-documented cause of allergic contact dermatitis, while Kojic Acid is a known sensitizer and irritant, especially at the estimated concentration.
Pore Clogging
High Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological comedogenicity scales routinely classify marine algae extracts, including Laminaria Digitata, as highly comedogenic (typically 4-5/5) due to high iodine content and follicular irritation potential.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Pure chemical filter systems lack the opaque, light-scattering particulate matter responsible for leaving a visible white cast on the skin.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Avobenzone UVA I / UVA II
Rapidly degrades under UV exposure losing significant UVA protection capacity unless stabilized by other filters.
Bemotrizinol Broad Spectrum UV
Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Aloe Vera Skin Conditioning
Unpurified aloe extracts may contain anthraquinones like aloin which are restricted to below 50 parts per million in cosmetics to prevent phototoxicity and skin irritation [1.2].
Laminaria Digitata Extract Skin Conditioning
Algae and seaweed extracts including Laminaria digitata are frequently flagged as pore clogging and may exacerbate breakouts in acne prone skin [1.2].
Propylene Glycol Solvent
Recognized as a frequent cause of allergic contact dermatitis especially in individuals with eczema or compromised skin barriers.
Kojic Acid Other

Lecithin Emollient
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review expert panel advises that lecithin should not be used in formulations containing nitrosating agents to prevent the formation of potentially carcinogenic N nitroso compounds [1.6].
Ethoxydiglycol Solvent
Restricted in the EU to specific maximum concentrations and banned in eye and oral products to prevent potential kidney damage [2.1].
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
Potassium Sorbate Preservative
Considered a rare skin sensitizer, it may occasionally cause mild allergic contact dermatitis or irritation, particularly on damaged or compromised skin [1.8].
Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide Skin Conditioning
Subject to EU Cosmetics Regulation Annex III limits on secondary amine impurities to prevent the formation of potential nitrosamines [2.2].
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
