Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
The input specifies an SPF 50 rating, which correlates directly with tier 5 for very high UVB blocking capacity according to the scoring scale.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Zinc Oxide provides strong peak absorption at 370 nm covering the critical UVA I range, complemented by Titanium Dioxide's peak at 310 nm for robust UVA II support.
Sweat Resistance
Excellent
Sweat Resistance
The presence of dedicated film-forming agents like Polyhydroxystearic Acid and a dense network of silicone elastomers (e.g., Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer) substantiates a maximum durability rating.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Photobiology literature establishes that inorganic filters like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are highly photostable under sustained UV exposure, qualifying for maximum stability.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
The ingredient list contains zero iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and no heavily pigmented mineral coverage.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological literature documents that alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic acid) and volatile botanical compounds (tea tree) can induce erythema and barrier disruption in sensitive skin.
Pore Clogging
High Risk
Pore Clogging
Standard dermatological comedogenicity models, such as those established by Fulton et al., assign isostearic acid a 5/5 rating due to its strong propensity to induce microcomedone formation.
White Cast
High Risk
White Cast
High concentrations of un-tinted zinc oxide (typically 10-20% for SPF 50) inherently reflect visible light, leaving a white or ashy residue on deeper skin.

Key Inactive Ingredients
Isostearic Acid Skin Conditioning
Frequently flagged in dermatological databases as having a high comedogenic rating, meaning it has the potential to clog pores and exacerbate acne in susceptible individuals [2.5].
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.
PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone Emulsifier
Because it contains polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol it carries a risk of trace contamination with dioxane and ethylene oxide which are toxic byproducts of the manufacturing process [2.1].
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].
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.
Talc Sensory Modifier
Talc deposits often coexist with asbestos leading to a high risk of cross contamination with this known human carcinogen if not rigorously tested.
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.
Willow Bark Extract Skin Conditioning
Generally well tolerated but its natural salicylate content may trigger allergic cross reactions in individuals with severe aspirin hypersensitivity.
Tea Tree Leaf Extract Skin Conditioning
Contains natural terpene constituents that can oxidize into skin sensitizers increasing the risk of allergic contact dermatitis.
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].
Amur Cork Tree Bark Extract Skin Conditioning
Clinical patch testing indicates that concentrations of five percent or higher can occasionally induce contact allergic or irritative reactions.
Glycolic Acid pH Adjuster
Exfoliates the protective outer layer of the stratum corneum, which can significantly increase skin sensitivity to UV radiation and the risk of sunburn.
PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil Emulsifier
Polyethylene glycol compounds may contain trace amounts of 1 4 dioxane as a byproduct of the ethoxylation manufacturing process.
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
PEG-10 Dimethicone Emulsifier
Polyethylene glycol compounds may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane which is a probable carcinogen formed as a byproduct of the ethoxylation manufacturing process [2].
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
