Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims an SPF of 50, supported by multiple strong UVB-absorbing filters including Octinoxate, Bemotrizinol, and Iscotrizinol.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Avobenzone provides peak absorption at 357 nm for critical UVA I coverage, while Bemotrizinol peaks at 345 nm to bridge the UVA I and UVA II ranges.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The inactive ingredients list includes VP/Acrylates/Lauryl Methacrylate Copolymer, a synthetic film-former that enhances water resistance, but no 40-minute or 80-minute claim is provided.
Photo Stability
Poor
Photo Stability
Photobiology research confirms that UV exposure triggers bimolecular photoreactions (Mayo reaction) between Avobenzone and Octinoxate, drastically reducing system photostability.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
The ingredient list contains zero iron oxide colour indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492) and no non-nano zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Menthyl lactate and avobenzone are known to occasionally cause transient stinging and irritant contact dermatitis in individuals with compromised epidermal barriers.
Pore Clogging
Medium Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological comedogenicity scales classify Myristyl Myristate as highly comedogenic (5/5), though modern clinical consensus acknowledges that concentrations under 1 percent significantly mitigate real-world pore-clogging potential.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Organic UV filters absorb rather than reflect UV radiation and lack the particulate size necessary to create visible white residue on the skin surface (J Am Acad Dermatol).
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
PEG-12 Dimethicone/PPG-20 Crosspolymer Sensory Modifier
As an ethoxylated and propoxylated compound, it carries a risk of trace contamination with 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are probable human carcinogens [2.1].
Polysorbate 20 Surfactant
As an ethoxylated ingredient, it may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are potential carcinogens linked to the manufacturing process.
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
Myristyl Myristate Emollient
Widely recognized as highly comedogenic with a rating of up to 5 out of 5, making it a potential trigger for clogged pores and breakouts in acne prone individuals depending on its concentration [1.9].
Ceteareth-12 Emulsifier
Because it is produced via ethoxylation, it may contain trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are known or suspected carcinogens.
Cetearyl Alcohol Emollient
Historically rated as mildly comedogenic in animal models but modern dermatological consensus indicates it is unlikely to clog pores in typical cosmetic formulations.
Geranium Oil Fragrance
Contains naturally occurring fragrance compounds such as geraniol citronellol and linalool which are known skin sensitizers that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis.
