Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
The formulation relies on potent UVB absorbers including Octinoxate and Iscotrizinol, backed by Titanium Dioxide, to comfortably achieve the SPF 50+ threshold.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Uvinul A Plus (peak absorption 354 nm) and Bemotrizinol (peak absorption 345 nm) work synergistically to provide robust coverage up to 400 nm, justifying the PA++++ rating.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Ingredients such as Dimethicone and Dimethicone Crosspolymer provide a basic hydrophobic barrier, but the absence of a stated 40-minute or 80-minute claim restricts the score.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Cosmetic science literature confirms that Bemotrizinol and Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate effectively quench the UV-induced degradation pathways of cinnamate filters like Octinoxate.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
There is a complete absence of iron oxide colorants (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or pigmentary non-white mineral filters in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Clinical dermatology identifies synthetic fragrance mixtures as common precipitators of contact dermatitis, particularly in patients with impaired epidermal barriers.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological databases classify silicones (dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane) and the included chemical filters as non-comedogenic (0 on the comedogenicity scale).
White Cast
Medium Risk
White Cast
Un-tinted titanium dioxide at meaningful concentrations consistently produces visible reflectance on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin types without offset from iron oxides.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Uvinul A Plus UVA II / UVA I
Not approved by the US FDA as a sunscreen active and subject to strict EU impurity limits for the reproductive toxicant di n hexyl phthalate.
Bemotrizinol Broad Spectrum UV
Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
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
Key Inactive Ingredients
Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate UV Stabilizer
Controversially used in sunscreen doping to artificially boost SPF in products marketed as purely mineral, effectively acting as an undisclosed chemical UV filter to bypass active ingredient regulations [2.4].
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.
